Dear Parents/ Guardians and Senior Students:
As anticipated, there has been some “push-back” and concern regarding our need to move 2013 graduation from June 15, 2013 to June 22, 2013.
First and foremost, this decision was not made in haste. Neither the school administration, nor the School Committee WANTED to move this date. To be in compliance with Rhode Island Department of Education regulations, we HAD to move this date. As previously explained, RIDE’s Commissioner Regulation specifically states that senior exams schedules shall be scheduled any time AFTER the completion of 171 INSTRUCTIONAL days.
Our original 2012-2013 school calendar has a start date of August 28, 2012, and ending 180 school days later; leaving the last day of school on June 20, 2013. Any make-up days due to inclement weather or emergency cancellations for underclassmen would simply be added on at the end of the school year. Unfortunately, that same framework does not apply to our senior students. Our start date of August 28, 2012, plus the adding 171 school days, leaves us with a conclusion date of June 7, 2013. The week of June 10, 2013 would provide us sufficient time for senior exams with an exam make-up date, a day for graduation practice and a day for Senior Day.
Graduation would have taken place on June 15, 2013. However, this year we have had school cancellations on October 29, 30, 31; November 1, 8; and February 8, 11; for a total of seven (7) additional days. The seven additional days now moves the 171 requirement to June 12, 2013. The remaining two days in that week would not leave sufficient time for exams, exam make-up or graduation practice.
The opportunity for a June 22, 2013 graduation was offered by the Ryan Center, and since this offer was given on a first claim basis, EWG secured that date.
Please understand that we are conscientiously aware of the negative impact and disruption this change has had on our EWG community. We feel the same frustration and anxiety that has been thrust upon our school as well. However, we must be in compliance with RIDE’s regulations, and anything short of that jeopardizes our authority to confer Rhode Island diplomas to our well deserving students.
Sincerely,
Brian D. Butler, Principal
