Portsmouth schools recognize Unified Basketball state champions, Melville pre‑K Bright Star five‑star rating and special education awards
Summary
The school committee held recognitions for the Portsmouth High School Unified Basketball team’s Division 6 state championship, Melville School’s pre‑K earning a Bright Star five‑star rating, and the Special Education Local Advisory Committee (CELAC) awards ceremony on May 14.
The Portsmouth School Committee recognized three districts of honors during the meeting: the Portsmouth High School Unified Basketball team, Melville School’s pre‑K program and the Special Education Local Advisory Committee (CELAC) awards.
Administrators presented certificates to players and coaches of the Unified Basketball team, which won the Division 6 state championship. Doctor Copeland and other administrators handed out certificates to students and coaches including Mark Marlacone and Donna Ritchie, who were present.
Officials also announced that Melville’s pre‑K program earned a five‑star rating in Rhode Island’s Bright Star system, a designation that indicates the program “is implementing research based best practices known to promote child development and learning and is exceeding the standards in all areas,” and that only about 20 percent of pre‑K programs statewide hold the five‑star rating.
Earlier in the meeting the committee noted that the Special Education Local Advisory Committee (CELAC) held an awards ceremony May 14 to honor students, teachers and support staff; committee members who attended included Miss McDade and Mister Delahanty.
Recognitions concluded with public thanks to staff and families; no formal action was taken on any recognition items.
