Lonsdale School Turns 50!

Lonsdale Elementary School alumni, former teachers and staff are invited to share memorabilia to help mark the school’s 50th anniversary this year. Lonsdale School will be holding a series of festivities the week of May 19, with student participation and a display of archival photos and artifacts form the past 50 years. Organizers are looking for old photos, mementos, and anecdotes from those who may have worked at or attended Lonsdale School. A schedule of events will be announced. For more information, or to submit photos or artifacts, please call Lonsdale School at 725-4200.

Welcome to Lonsdale Elementary, our "Home Away From Home". We are a school of approximately 175 students in grades 2-5, one of four in the Lincoln (RI) Public School District. We believe that our students have many talents. We reach all students instructionally by creating a nurturing environment in which each can reach his or her highest potential. Our students are engaged in learning through the integration of arts which is culminated each year in an Arts Show. We have high expectations for all our students through the process of a performance-based curriculum, instruction and assessment, linked to the current state and local school district's standards.

Mrs. Mary Carvalho, principal

Our School Improvement Team, Faculty, and Lonsdale Parent and Teacher Organization work diligently to provide our children with the best opportunities for learning both affectively and academically. Our Student Council provides our school with many activities throughout the year. They organize and present a monthly community meeting time which recognizes the talents and accomplishments of all that are part of our Lonsdale Family.

The Lonsdale district kindergarten and grade 1 children attend the Fairlawn Early Learning Center (approximately 2 miles south of Lonsdale School) prior to joining our students as second graders. A grade 1-2 transitional program has been implemented. As you further peruse our web site, you will be able to easily see the exciting and challenging opportunities afforded our students.

As principal, I am very proud of our Learning Community here at Lonsdale Elementary. We work together as a team and support our school with a strong belief in our mottos of Children First and Together We Can.
