North Scituate Elementary School

Students in Grades K-5 had the opportunity to view the Solar Eclipse that occurred over RI on April 8th! Glasses were purchased so that all students had the opportunity to explore this special event with their teachers and classmates. Thank you to those families who sent their children's glasses back to school. They have been donated to Eclipse Glasses USA, who will be distributing them to children in Latin America who will also have the opportunity to enjoy the Solar Eclipse in August 2024!

Our entire school community has been deeply affected this week by the recent passing of our Director of School Counseling, Dan Casey. We extend our condolences to the Casey family, and all students, staff, and Teachers, who are working through this difficult time. Mr. Casey dedicated himself to Scituate Middle/High School for the past five years, first as a school counselor before taking on a bigger role as our Director of School Counseling. He was also our head wrestling coach and played a crucial role in building our program up to where it is today. Mr. Casey connected with nearly every student in our school in some way. In a school community as close-knit as ours, his loss will continue to be deeply felt. Please know that we are doing everything we can to support students, families, and the entire Scituate community with additional resources and counseling during this time, and we encourage anyone who has been affected by this news to reach out to support services, including those available through our schools.
