2020-21 Updates
Welcome to our Reopening SG webpage, where we will continue to provide the most up-to-date information regarding the 2020-21 school year. Our plan for both in-person and remote learning incorporates the guiding wisdom of the Rhode Island Governor’s Office and the R.I. Department of Health. We look forward to welcoming students back to campus in January following a successful fall on the Hilltop!
We hope many of your questions are answered here; however if not, please see the email list at the bottom of this page to submit your query.
