The WIN (What I Need) block is an opportunity for students to receive academic support in math and/or reading. Students were selected for WIN based on Star math and reading screening assessment results. Students with scores below the benchmark for their grade level will work on reading and/or math skills twice per week, and their progress will be monitored throughout the quarter. Student progress and data will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.
All students, parents/guardians should be able to view their bus info in PowerSchool. Should you have any questions, please reach out to First Student by emailing Wendy.Lacombe@firstgroup.com
Students will be assigned a locker by their team of teachers. Students are required to provide their own locks. Each student is to only use the locker to which they are assigned. Sharing lockers with other students is not permitted. Lockers are provided for the storage of books, backpacks and coats during the school day. Lockers should be locked at all times. The lockers are school property and may be opened by the administration/Dean for emergencies or when there exists reasonable suspicion for a search of the contents, consistent with school committee policy. Students are responsible for the condition of the locker assigned to them and the cleanliness of the contents. The cost of repair or repainting locker damage caused by writing on painted surfaces, affixing non-removable stickers, or bending metal parts will be charged to the student. Students are financially responsible for any articles or books lost or stolen from their lockers.

Scituate Middle School, along with 79 other Rhode Island secondary schools, is implementing a Student Assistance Program based on a national model called Project SUCCESS. The program is provided by Rhode Island Student Assistance Services (RISAS) and is funded by the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Health and the school department.
The goals of Project SUCCESS are to prevent and reduce alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use and to improve school performance. To accomplish these goals, the program provides school-wide awareness programs, classroom presentations and individual and small group sessions to teach about substance use and skills to resist pressures to use substances. Parent meetings and workshops will also be available to assist you in prevention efforts.
Abbigayle Coria, our Student Assistance Counselor, will be responsible for implementing and coordinating the Project SUCCESS prevention and education activities at Scituate Middle School. She works full-time and has some evening hours available to see parents and make presentations to community groups. Ms. Coria has a Master’s Degree in Counseling, previous experience working with adolescents at Scituate High School and specialized training in prevention and early intervention strategies. The Student Assistance Counselor is an employee of RISAS and is supervised by RISAS and the school.
Ms. Coria is available to see students who are using alcohol, tobacco or other drugs, or have personal, school or family problems that could lead to substance use or other unhealthy behaviors. If you are worried about your child’s behavior and would like to speak to the Student Assistance Counselor and/or have the Student Assistance Counselor, see your child, please call them directly at the school. All calls will be confidential.
This program has helped many students make responsible choices, has educated students about the dangers of drug use, and has helped others get outside help for related problems. In order to e valuate the effectiveness of the Student Assistance Program/Project SUCCESS and to make continuing improvements, the state requires us to collect data from students who participate during the school year. No names are on any collected data.
If, for any reason, you do not want your son or daughter to be seen by the Student Assistance Counselor, please contact me or contact the Student Assistance Counselor abbigayle.coria@scituateschoolsri.net directly. We are very pleased to offer this valuable program to the students in our school.
Also, please feel free to call if you have any questions about the program.
Sincerely,
Dana S. Morel
