We’re feeling extra optimistic after tonite! We welcomed the Class of 2026 with an impressive turnout of students, families, & mentors! We had quite the night- from DJ O, to the rock wall, the yummy food, & the fantastic representation of our student activities. #wwhswizardpride
Love this message! 🚀👇Make most of the first day of class and let’s make a great first impression! #BackToSchool https://twitter.com/thomascmurray/status/1157638458300600320
Educators: The first day of school is an amazing opportunity. What can you do on Day 1 that has your kids running back to you on Day 2? We can’t forget: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Make the first day count! #FutureReady

Thank you to the ENTIRE @RISenate for its support of long-term rate reform for providers of services to people with disabilities.
This legislation is gaining bipartisan support because it impacts thousands of Rhode Islanders.
Let’s pass S2311 this session.
