Late buses will begin on September 28, 2026, and will run through June 3, 2027.
Late buses are available Monday through Thursday.
Buses are due to arrive at 3:30 pm at the schools.
Please review the schedule with your student so they know which late bus they will be taking.
It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to make sure the student knows which bus to get on.
Please be aware that the late bus your student takes may not be the same bus they normally ride, and the stop may not be their regular bus stop. Parents/guardians will need to review the late bus schedule and determine which stop is closest to your home.

Norwood School is proud to announce that it has been selected as a Special Olympics Unified Champion School through the Special Olympics North America National Recognition Program.
This national recognition celebrates schools that are committed to creating socially inclusive school communities where all students are welcomed, valued, and given opportunities to learn, lead, connect, and participate together.
“This recognition is about so much more than a banner or an award,” said Dawn Manchester, Principal of Norwood School. “It reflects who we want to be as a school community. We believe every student belongs, every student has something to contribute, and every student should have opportunities to experience connection, friendship, leadership, and success. We are incredibly proud of the work our students and staff are doing to build a school where inclusion is not just something we talk about—it is something we live. We are lucky to have a committed staff and volunteers who work effortlessly to make these events happen!"
Through the Unified Champion Schools program, Norwood is working to foster a school culture grounded in inclusion, acceptance, respect, and belonging. The program brings students with and without intellectual disabilities together through inclusive activities, leadership opportunities, and schoolwide efforts that promote meaningful connections.
Norwood School participates in Pay to Pour, Unified Basketball, Awareness Week, and other inclusive events throughout the year. Keep a look out for information about their celebration and scheduled events throughout the year.

Dear Warwick Schools Community,
As we enter the Thanksgiving Break, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to our students, families, teachers, staff, and administrators. I encourage everyone to take this time to recharge, reflect, and enjoy the company of family and friends.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Holliman Kindergarten Thanksgiving Parade, and tomorrow, I look forward to seeing many familiar faces at the annual Thanksgiving Day Beacon Bowl between Pilgrim and Toll Gate High Schools. These are just a few of many longstanding traditions that reflect the pride and spirit of our Warwick community.
Best wishes for a restful and joyful Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
William D. McCaffrey
Superintendent of Schools
