Attention Class of 2026 families! Our seniors are hard at work on their Capstone Projects—a graduation requirement that showcases their growth, interests, and real-world problem-solving skills.

Parents and guardians, here are a few ways you can support your student:

• Ask reflective questions: “What’s the focus of your Capstone project?” “What progress have you made since last week?”

• Encourage time management: Help them plan when to research, interview, and refine their presentation.

• Celebrate milestones: Recognize each step they complete—it helps keep motivation high!

College Admission Visits:
College counselors are visiting Charette to share information about the colleges they represent and encourage students to consider applying. This week, our 12th-grade students had the chance to hear from Maya Suggs from Rhode Island College (RIC) during their ILP–College and Career course. It was an exciting opportunity for students to explore their next steps and ask questions about college life! 🎓📚

Health Class Culinary Fun:
Our 9th-grade students got hands-on in the kitchen this week! One group whipped up broccoli alfredo, while the other created a delicious pasta with greens and beans. Judging by the smiles (and empty plates!), everyone enjoyed the experience and learned some tasty lessons along the way! 🍝

Senior Strategy Session:
Dr. Lyons met with our senior class to strategize ways to meaningfully recognize their accomplishments and leadership. Together, they brainstormed ideas for what matters most to them as the leaders of our school. 🎓

New Urban Arts is Coming to Charette!
We’re excited to welcome New Urban Arts (NUA) to Charette High School in the coming weeks! During lunch periods, NUA will introduce students to their free afterschool arts programs, connect them with creative mentors, and share opportunities to visit their studio on Westminster Street. Students in all grade levels will have a chance to learn more about how they can explore the arts and get involved in the community. Don’t miss it!
