School officials tweak calendar

The Barrington School Committee recently adjusted the school calendar. According to an email from Barrington High School, “the current last day of school for BHS students is Tuesday, June 23rd; however, a decision by RIDE could move the date earlier.” Also, the last day of school for Barrington students in grades K-5 is June 24, stated the email. District officials have been working on the schedule following the recent blizzard, which forced the cancelation of five days of school for Barrington students.
