Family Newsletter
January 2021
Welcome to the 2021 Year!
Dear Parents and Friends,
The staff and I are very happy to have returned to In-Person Learning! We would like to thank you for all your support while we were at home during this holiday time; it is wonderful to see how much our little friends have grown! May I ask if you have any questions or concerns for us at this time?
This month of January promises to be a quick one. As you know, next Monday, January 18, 2021, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and there will be no school. We hope that this day will be a family day full of happiness and fun – sunshine outdoors, too!
On Monday, January 25, 2021, teachers will be attending professional development workshops so there will be no in-school learning. All children will have a special packet to complete with Mom or Dad, along with a new book to read!
As you know, each month we take a close look at one of the RIELDS Domains. This month we will focus upon Social Studies where we are learning about how our children relate to their family and community. Our story this month talks about being kind to each other. We hope you will enjoy it with your child.
Our Nurse Sue has a message for you all…
Happy New Year!
I hope you are all well. Please continue to update me with any isolation/quarantine situations you may have. Students who are experiencing COVID symptoms can be tested at any K -12 testing site. To schedule a test call (844) 857-1814 7 days a week 7:30 am -9:30 pm. BinaxNow testing offers results in 15 minutes for asymptomatic individuals. Visit portal.ri.gov for scheduling and locations.

Thank you,
Sue Mungovan RN
Thank you, Nurse Sue! Importantly, during the first two weeks of February, we are asking that you complete a short survey from the Rhode Island Department of Education. It is called SurveyWorks. If you have an older child, you may be familiar with it since all public school parents complete it each school year. This survey is an effort to gather information that will help improve the quality of schools across Rhode Island. It will help educators understand and act upon what students, teachers, support professionals, administrators and parents say about climate, culture, and learning environments in our school. You will complete it online. We will be sending you a separate link to join and an access code to enter to open the survey online within the next week. We are very appreciative that you take your valuable time in support of this.
Please remember, I remain available to you always at your convenience. Again, Happy New Year!
Donna M. Peluso, Principal

The East Providence Public Schools will be on full Distance Learning from December 14, 2020 to January 4, 2021.
Beginning on December 14th through to December 23rd, the EP School Dept, partnering with Chartwells and Ocean State Transit will deliver student breakfasts/lunches to our community school sites and bus stops across the city. The sites and bus stop times are attached. The bus staff will be distributing the meals, so there is no need to go into the buildings.
Special note: This coming week meal offerings will include 3 or 4 hot lunch items (beginning on Tuesday).
We thank you for your cooperation during this time. Stay well.
The following site is also available along with the schools and bus stops.

Meeting Notes:
July 21, 2020 and August 6, 2020:
The Oldham School Improvement Team began its charge during the summer of 2020 by creating a Reopening 2020 School Document, noting COVID guidelines and plans. We continue to create and draft the James R.D. Oldham School Improvement Plan of the 2020/2021 School Year.
November 16, 2020:
The Oldham School Improvement Team met virtually to review data from the 2019-2020 School Year along with the Reopening Plan of 2020 to create an update to the James R.D. Oldham Pre-K School Improvement Plan. All members were present except Liz Dias. Stephanie Gaudreau and Dana Brodin took notes and formatted the plan electronically as it was created and modified.
The discussion by the team focused on improvement goals that included Academic Excellence; Social & Emotional Learning/Collaboration; Professional Development; and Partnerships/Safety. Virtual Meetings/Technology, Student Attendance, Social and Emotional Learning and Support; as well as Family Engagement were topics strategized.
A draft of the James R.D. Oldham Pre-K School Improvement Plan was written and submitted to the Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Kathryn Crowley, on November 20, 2020 for review and approval. When this is complete, the Plan will be posted to this website for the Learning Community’s information.
