Westerly Public Schools will continue to promote vaccination as the most powerful tool to keep everyone healthy and safe and to return to normal activities. We will continue to encourage everyone to stay home and get tested if they have symptoms and to work closely with their school nurse to determine the return to school dates based upon symptom presentation.
When speaking with families we will continue to recommend best public health guidance based upon CDC/RIDOH.

Core Beliefs
The core belief of Westerly Public Schools is all children can learn. It is our responsibility to assist in fostering a community of life-long learners with our students at its center.
As educators, we know all children can achieve at high levels when provided with opportunities, sustenance, high expectations, and proper supports both in school and at home. As a learning community we strive to promote critical thinking and problem solving skills, to inspire creativity, and to encourage risk taking among students and staff. We recognize that all children are unique and it is our responsibility to provide multiple pathways to success for our students and their families.
Our staff is our most important resource and to provide for the best education of our
students we are committed to developing their skills and abilities.

This Statewide Bullying Policy is promulgated pursuant to the authority set forth in §16‐21‐34 of the General Laws of Rhode Island. Known as the Safe School Act, the statute recognizes that the bullying of a student creates a climate of fear and disrespect that can seriously impair the student's health and negatively affect learning. Bullying undermines the safe learning environment that students need to achieve their full potential. The purpose of the Policy is to ensure a consistent and unified statewide approach to the prohibition of bullying at school.
