A MESSAGE FROM
THE SUPERINTENDENT
On behalf of the Chariho Regional School District Committee, please accept my best wishes for a successful and
productive school year! Our obligation to the children of Charlestown, Richmond, and Hopkinton is to provide
a high-quality, rigorous, public education designed to prepare every student for success in careers, the military,
or college. We are committed to this endeavor!
This Annual Report to Our Communities is generated and distributed to meet federal reporting requirements
and to assist community members by communicating important calendar and policy information. Please save
this publication for future reference. For the first time, we are also providing a listing of major highlights of our
schools; no doubt a result of incredible efforts on the part of students, school leaders, faculty, and staff. Also, ten
of our athletic teams won titles last year. I think you will find the list of awards to be quite impressive.
Last year, we distributed laptops to our High School students. We've learned a great deal during the first year
of the transition to a digital learning environment; some of what we've learned will cause us to do things a bit differently this year. Regardless, we take very seriously
the challenge to take full advantage of the potential of technology to enhance and personalize the learning experience. During this year, we will be issuing laptops to
our grade eight students. (Actually, the laptops were previously used by last year's graduating class.)
The implementation of foreign language instruction at the elementary schools has been a huge success. The response from the parental community has been very
positive, only surpassed by the enthusiastic response from students. Based upon feedback from our program assessment, foreign language instruction will continue at
the elementary level with a few minor adjustments.
We continue to take good care of our facilities. This summer, corridor lockers are scheduled to be replaced and locker rooms will be refurbished at the Middle School,
original interior classroom doors will be replaced at Hope Valley and Richmond Schools, corridor ceilings will be replaced at Charlestown School, and septic piping
will be replaced at Ashaway School. These are but a few of the many projects scheduled for completion this summer to take care of these important community investments. In addition, thanks to a Home Depot gift, the playground at Hope Valley School will be refurbished.
Speaking of facilities, the School Committee has formed a RYSE School Task Force to explore facility and funding options. The RYSE School houses our clinical day
and alternative programs. The School is really an assembly of 16 connected trailers. It is in less-than-desirable condition and a decision needs to be made regarding
the housing of these students. The Task Force will report to the School Committee when its work is complete.
Each year, I ask for your help in reinforcing that the work of school is serious and important. Hard work and strong effort lead to success; this is a 'tax-free' solution to
what ails us. It's clear that students who come to school ready to learn, well-rested and healthy, and academically prepared perform at high levels. Setting the highest
of expectations and holding students accountable for a high-quality work product is something that we all must do!
Please contact me by phone at 364-7575 x2001 or by email at barry.ricci@chariho.k12.ri.us if you need assistance. You can sign up for my monthly newsletter at
www.chariho.k12.ri.us and follow me on Twitter at @CharihoRegional. You will find the latest Hot News on the Chariho website and everyone is invited to the Open
Forums with the Superintendent, which will be held in the next couple of months.
Thank you for your support of high-quality public education. Take care.

Secondary Grading Policy - Fast Fact!
“Students have until five (5) school days before the issuance of quarterly progress reports...
to submit missing or incomplete work.”
Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act
(FERPA)
Notification of Rights Under the Protection of
Pupil Rights (PPRA) Amendment
A federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student’s education records,
FERPA, gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s educational
records. These rights transfer to the student, or former student, who has reached
the age of 18 or is attending any school beyond the high school level. Students
and former students to whom the rights have transferred are called eligible
students.
PPRA affords parents, students who are 18, or emancipated minors (“eligible
students”) certain rights regarding our conduct of surveys, collection and use of
information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams. These include
the right to:
Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review all of the student’s
education records maintained by the school. Parents and eligible students have
the right to request that a school correct records believed to be inaccurate or
misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible
student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school
still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right
to place a statement with the record commenting on the contested information
in the record.
Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible
student before releasing any information from a student’s record. However, the
law allows schools to disclose records, without consent, to the following parties:
1. School officials who have a need to know;
2. Other schools to which a student is transferring;
3. Certain government officials in order to carry out lawful functions;
4. Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
5. Organizations conducting certain studies for the school;
6. Accrediting organizations;
7. Individuals who have obtained court orders or subpoenas;
8. Persons who need to know in cases of health and safety emergencies;
9. State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to
specific state law; and
10. Another school in which a student enrolls.
Parents have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the Chariho Regional School District to
comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office
that administers FERPA are:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202
(202) 260-3887
www.ed.gov/FPCO
Schools may also disclose, without consent, directory type information such
as a student’s name, address, email address, telephone number, date and place
of birth, honors and awards, photographs and dates of attendance. However,
schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and
allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that
the school not disclose directory information about them. Please refer to the
form on page 6.
Consent before students are required to submit to a survey that concerns one or more
of the following protected areas (“protected information survey”) if the survey is
funded in whole or in part by a program of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) 1. Political affiliations or beliefs of the student or student’s parent;
2. Mental or psychological problems of the student or student’s family;
3. Sex behavior or attitudes;
4. Illegal, anti-social, self incriminating, or demeaning behavior;
5. Critical appraisals of others with whom respondents have close family
relationships;
6. Legally recognized privileged relationships, such as with lawyers, doctors, or
ministers;
7. Income, other than as required by law, to determine program eligibility.
Receive notice and an opportunity to opt a student out of –
1. Any other protected information survey, regardless of funding;
2. Any non-emergency, invasive physical exam or screening required as a condition
of attendance, administered by the school or its agent, and not necessary to protect
the immediate health and safety of a student, except for hearing, vision, or scoliosis
screenings, or any physical exam or screening permitted or required under state
law; and
3. Activities involving collection, disclosure, or use of personal information obtained
from students for marketing or to sell or otherwise distribute the information to
others.
Inspect, upon request and before administration or use –
1. Surveys of students;
2. Instruments used to collect personal information from students for any of the
above marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes; and
3. Instructional material used as part of the educational curriculum.
The School District has developed a policy, in consultation with parents, regarding
these rights, and has made arrangements to protect student privacy in the
administration of protected information surveys and the collection, disclosure, or
use of personal information for marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes. The
School District will directly notify parents and eligible students of this policy at least
annually at the start of each school year and after any substantive changes are made.
Parents of students who believe their rights under PPRA may have been violated
may file a complaint with ED by writing the Family Policy Compliance Office.
Complaints must contain specific allegations of fact giving reasonable cause to
believe that a violation of PPRA occurred.

School Offender Registration
and Community Notification Act
At the beginning of each school year, the Chariho Regional School District is
required, under Rhode Island’s Sexual Offender Registration and Community
Notification Act (R.I. Gen. Laws § 11-37.1-1 et seq.), and in compliance with
guidelines issued by the Department of the Attorney General, to submit to local
law enforcement agencies a directory of the names and addresses of parents
who have children attending schools in Chariho.
The Rhode Island Sexual Offender Registration and Community Notification
Act requires certain offenders to be registered with law enforcement agencies
and, in certain instances, requires local law enforcement agencies to provide
notification to the community.
The Rhode Island Attorney General’s Department has issued guidelines for the
procedures to be utilized in connection with community notification. Under
the Attorney General’s guidelines, the Chariho Regional School District is
required to submit a directory listing of the names and addresses of parents
whose children attend school in the district. In keeping with Chariho’s
responsibilities under the law and the Attorney General’s guidelines, Chariho
will be submitting a directory listing of all parents who have children attending
schools in Chariho to the local law enforcement authorities.
In the event that a local police department determines that it is appropriate to
provide community notification to the parents of children attending school,
this directory will be utilized; and you may receive offender fact sheets from
the law enforcement agency unless and until you notify Chariho that you wish
your name(s) to be removed from the directory or until you no longer have
children attending school within the district, whichever comes first.
Below is a form which you may utilize if you choose not to have your name(s)
and address(es) included in the directory and you do not want to receive offender fact
sheets from the law enforcement agency. If it is your preference not to be listed in
the directory and not to receive any offender fact sheets should the need arise, please
complete the form, indicating the name(s) of your child or children, your address,
and affix your signature(s).
Your name(s) and address(es) will be included in the directory unless we receive
this form, signed by you.
For more information on sexual offender notification, please visit the State of Rhode
Island Parole Board and Sexual Offender Notification Unit website at http://www.
paroleboard.ri.gov.
Student Photos
Many times throughout the year, the District prints newsletters and fliers that include
images of some of Chariho’s students. Pictures may also be included on the District
website. At other times local, regional, or national media may request to publish
pictures or articles about our students. If you do not wish your child’s picture to be
included in any publications or if you are the guardian of a child in DCYF custody,
please inform the school principal by using the form on the bottom of this page.
To: Parents/Guardians of 11th and 12th Grade Students:
Current legislation requires school districts to provide the names, addresses, and
telephone listings of junior and senior class students to Armed Forces recruiters.
The legislation also includes a provision that allows parents to have their child’s
information exempted from that list.
In accordance with the provisions of that legislation, if you do not wish to have the
above referenced information provided to Armed Forces recruiters, please complete
and return the form at the bottom of this page.

Vision 2018
Mission
The Chariho Regional School District ensures that all students meet high academic standards and are prepared for lifelong learning and productive global citizenship.
Vision
With a commitment to continuous improvement, the District’s highly-qualified staff engages with students in state-of-the-art facilities to master challenging content, to promote creativity, and to foster critical thinking.
The District is recognized by the community as its greatest asset.
Beliefs
We believe that high academic standards and research-informed decision making are critical ...
All professionals operate from a belief that all students can learn and meet or exceed demanding standards. All students at every level must be engaged in challenging academic experiences. Rigorous academic standards are the foundation of this school District. Instructional and program decisions must be data-informed and research-based.
Learning is a continuous lifelong process. Schools must prepare students to be creative and critical thinkers, problem solvers, and effective communicators. The physical, social, and emotional wellness of every child is necessary for optimum learning.
We believe that the larger community must be fully engaged in the learning process...
Education is a shared responsibility of students, parents, staff, and the community. Students thrive when supported, nurtured, and engaged by the community. In an environment that emphasizes school safety, everyone must be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect. Schools must prepare students to be team members and leaders, community contributors, and productive citizens in a global society.
