Dear Hugh Cole Families,
As we wrap up the school year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you. It has been a wonderful year watching our PreK–5 students learn, laugh, and grow together!
A special congratulations and farewell to our 4th and 5th-grade students as they move on to KMS! We are so proud of you and know you will do amazing things at KMS!
Please take note of a few important details before summer begins:
Report Cards: Ready for viewing on Monday, June 29 (see details below).
School Hours: Daily start and end times will remain exactly the same for Hugh Cole students next year.
Have a safe, happy, and restful summer! Keep an eye on your inbox later this summer for important back-to-school updates. We look forward to welcoming everyone back and continuing to grow as a community this fall.
Have a fantastic summer!
Warmly,
Mrs. MacDougall

Families of Students with IEPs
Dear Families,
The Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) is reimagining and redesigning the IEP process in alignment with the Blueprint & Strategic Plan for Differently-Abled Students' (DAS) Success and with a strong commitment to meeting all legal requirements. The goal of the work is to improve outcomes for students with disabilities by ensuring a process that elevates student and family voice, advances true belonging, and drives productive collaboration across the entire IEP team- if you are a parent/guardian of a student with an IEP, your experience with the current IEP process is exactly what will drive this work forward!
Please consider sharing your feedback with the current IEP process and documents by completing Family Survey to assist RIDE with this work. A link to the survey can be found
here. The survey will be open until June 26, 2026.
Responses gathered will be used anonymously to inform the comprehensive IEP redesign. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to support@spedstrategies.com.
Thank you for your consideration and sharing your input.

Summer Reading Challenge, Grades K-3
Dear Families,
We are thrilled to invite our Kindergarten through 3rd-grade students to participate in this year’s Summer Reading Challenge!
Before the school year ends, each student will receive a Summer Reading Badge Tracker. Here is how it works:
Read & Color: Every time your student reads a book that fits one of the challenges, they get to color in the corresponding badge.
The Goal: Complete all 10 badges on the tracker!
The Rewards: Students who bring their completed tracker back during the first week of school will earn a small prize and be entered into a raffle to win a $50 Scholastic Book Fair gift card for the fall book fair!
A few quick details:
Keep it Fun: This challenge is completely voluntary.
All Reading Counts: Fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, and magazines all count toward the badges. Audiobooks and reading aloud together are great, too!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at courtney.bosco@bwrsd.org.
HAPPY READING!
Best,
Courtney Bosco
