Music

Woonsocket School District

2020 Christmas Concert Information

Grades PreK - 12th Choir and Band

Mrs. Easton and Mrs. Hofer along with their students, have been working hard to prepare music to celebrate the Holiday season.  We want them to have the opportunity to share thier hard work and talents, even during this difficult time of COVID-19.  To ensure we can safely hold our Christmas program we are making a few changes to the format.   The concert will be held in the gym on Thursday, December 10th in the afternoon.  The following schedule will be used to ensure the safety of all involved.

5th - 12th grades will begin their concert at 1:30p.m. and return to class after their portion of the concert.

PreK - 4th grades will begin their concert at 2:30p.m. and are able to be dismissed with their parents after the concert.

Attendance to the Concert

We are encouraging all in-house family members to come and enjoy the program.  Our current policy is that all visitors wear a mask in the school during school hours. Therefore we are requiring all people in attendance to wear a mask and practice social distancing as much as possible.

The Christmas Concert will also be recorded by our media class who will put together a virtual concert to be released before Christmas break.

We appreciate your understanding to these necessary changes to keep everyone safe and healthy.  We are hopeful this concert will help spread some Holiday Cheer!

Community

Woonsocket Wi-Fi

The Woonsocket Community and Events Center has expanded its central role in connecting community residents and visitors. Santel Communications recently installed a Public Wi-Fi system that provides free Wi-Fi.

According to Woonsocket Schools Superintendent, Dr. Rod Weber, “The school’s remote and eLearning platforms require the student’s reliable access to the Internet. It is important for the school to work with families and community to provide connectivity they need to continue learning through varied pandemic conditions and restrictions. Santel approached the school on ways to help and within a short amount of time, free public Wi-Fi was implemented.”

The community center now has Wi-Fi coverage inside and outside the building. The students and public are invited to use and access Internet for their needs. General Manager Ryan Thompson of Santel states, “Our enhanced Wi-Fi systems allow expanded coverage in an area commonly used by the community for many different events and gatherings. If more stringent social distancing is required, we felt it was important to offer students and residents outdoor ‘drive up’ Internet as well. Drive up, park, connect. Easy, safe and convenient.”

Internet-connected device users should select the community center Wi-Fi access point on their device and with no password required the system allows up to a 2-hour session of free Wi-Fi internet.
