Located in the Wakefield neighborhood of the city of South Kingstown, Wakefield School serves students in grades kindergarten through grade four. Wakefield School has a strong reputation as an educational environment which seeks to foster the social/emotional as well as rigorous academic needs of its students. Wakefield School was the first in South Kingstown to develop a Site Based Management Team. Currently the demands of the school are divided between the School Improvement Team and the Advisory Communication Team, which helps handle the day-to-day issues that arise. Teachers and staff are well invested in their young charges and pitch in with creative problem solving ideas as needs arise.
Peace Dale Elementary School services students in kindergarten through fourth grade. We envision our school as a community of learners in which social, emotional, physical and academic needs of its members are fully met. Parents, students and staff will be equal partners in our success. The highest standards of cooperation, collaboration and collegial behavior will be our norm.
Educational excellence will be achieved by encouraging students and adults to take risks and to expand traditional ideas. Children will be prepared for the demands of tomorrow and for a life in a technological society. The experience at Peace Dale Elementary School is characterized by diversity within our school community. We will celebrate this diversity, for it strengthens our community and enriches our learning.
