🎒📚 WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL! 📚🎒
Tomorrow marks the first day of school, and the Warren Police Department would like to welcome back all of the students, teachers, staff, and families of the Bristol Warren Regional School District! We hope everyone has a safe, successful, and enjoyable school year!
We’re also excited to introduce our new School Resource Officer, Officer Collin Freitas! Officer Freitas will be a familiar face each day at Kickemuit Middle School and Hugh Cole School, working with students and staff to help maintain a safe and positive school environment.
Officer Freitas has been a member of the Warren Police Department for four years and brings a unique skill set to our schools, as he is also a certified Advanced EMT and firefighter. He looks forward to getting to know our students, families, and school staff throughout the year. If you see him in the hallways or around campus, be sure to say hello!
As everyone gets back into the school routine tomorrow, we have a few reminders:
🚸 Slow down and stay alert around our schools, crosswalks, and bus stops.
🚌 Watch for school buses and always stop when required for flashing red lights.
🚗 Parents and guardians: Please familiarize yourselves with the new drop-off and pick-up procedures at our schools and follow the directions of school staff and officers.
⏰ Give yourself some extra time and exercise patience, especially during the first few days as everyone adjusts to the new procedures and traffic patterns.
📵 Keep your eyes on the road and your phone away, particularly during busy arrival and dismissal times.
We ask everyone to please be patient tomorrow morning and throughout the first few days of school. A little extra time, attention, and cooperation will go a long way toward keeping our students safe and making arrival and dismissal run smoothly.
Welcome back! Have a great first day and an even better school year!
