The Girls Lacrosse Team visited students at Clayville Elementary last Friday to help students start their day off with smiles and high-fives! Clayville students were thrilled to see them.
Physical Science students at SHS were engaged in learning about light and optics during a lesson taught by Mr. Guertin from Rhode Island College (RIC) during his final week of student teaching.
A few of the stations included: light dispersion, refraction & color mixing and the science of shadows. Although many of the students have observed or experienced these phenomena on their own, Mr. Guertin's lesson explained the mechanism behind each of them with this kinesthetic lab.

High school students in Physical Science have been learning about magnetism and were presented with five challenges. The culminating portion of their investigation challenged them to design, build, and test a magnetically powered vehicle and then maneuver it through a course requiring forward and reverse motion AND be able to turn left and right.

Attention Scituate families! We are conducting a survey to find out from our families how you perceive the schools that your children attend.
In some ways, this overlaps with the Survey Works questionnaire, but it goes into more detail because, as a school department, we want to know from you what we're doing well and what we could do better!
This survey is anonymous and specifically designed for parents and guardians with students in our schools. The survey will be open for approximately two weeks and will close on Monday, April 21, 2025.
We hope you can take the time to give us this important feedback!

Congratulations to the seniors for winning the 2025 Spartan Olympics on Friday! Everyone had tons of fun cheering on their peers during the games. Thanks to Ava P, Austin S, and Ms. Remka for making it happen!
Students in US History II have been studying the Cold War. Students used dominoes to illustrate the Domino Theory that suggests that once a country falls to Communism, more will follow.
Students in US History II Honors made their teacher extremely proud when they held an empathetic and professional interview with Rena Quint, Holocaust Survivor, and author of “A Daughter of Many Mothers”.
This journey began with an in-depth reading of her autobiography. Students responded to high-level reading comprehension and critical thinking questions surrounding Rena’s gripping life story. The culminating activity happened last week when students were able to talk to Rena Quint directly from her home in Jerusalem, Israel via Zoom.
Topics discussed included the Holocaust, Holocaust denial, perseverance, resilience, the ongoing conflict with Gaza, and her formal meeting with President Joe Biden two summers ago. Students were inspired by her resilience and willingness to open up and communicate with them about her experiences and life in general.
Students in Modern World History class were visited by Secretary of State Gregg Amore. He offered the students a dynamic presentation centered around voting rights and voter suppression. He spoke about the history of voting rights including suffrage for African-Americans and women. He also distributed pocket constitutions to all students. Everyone left class that day with a renewed appreciation for the right to vote.
