Students at Watson Elementary School are on an attendance streak—and a  $20,000 grant from Bristol County Savings Bank to Fall River Public Schools will help keep the momentum going district-wide!

Watson was selected for the check presentation because the school has maintained the highest daily attendance rates in the district and is leading the charge in addressing chronic absenteeism

FRED-TV cameras recently stopped by the Viveiros Elementary for a fun-filled family engagement event. Don't worry... no gambling was involved in this version of bingo!

Book Bingo saw great numbers from students and their families, all hoping to be the first to cross off five numbers in a row and walk away with new reading material.

Two B.M.C. Durfee High School seniors are using their DECA Community Awareness Project to make a real-world impact.

Leticia Siminoni Goncalves da Silva and Yaniel Ocasio-Ramos, both enrolled in Early College and DECA, selected the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) as the focus of their DECA project. As part of the assignment, students research a charitable organization and work to raise awareness within the community.

School counselors do far more than schedule classes—they listen, guide, advocate, and help students navigate academic challenges, emotions, and big life decisions. Their work changes lives every single day.

We thank our school counselors for being trusted adults, advocates, and support for our students and families. 

Last week, more than 30 Durfee students were surprised as they received the Caught Being Awesome Award.

The Term 2 students were nominated by teachers, office staff, counselors, and even classmates for doing the right thing — showing kindness, character, responsibility, perseverance, strong academic effort, and for the hard work it takes to turn things around.

Massachusetts State Senator Michael Rodrigues, joined by his Legislative Aide Kyle Neves, visited B.M.C. Durfee High School to meet with students in AP Government and Criminal Justice classes.

Students led a dynamic Q&A, asking thoughtful questions and connecting classroom learning to real-world government, law, and local politics. Senator Rodrigues shared insight into how decisions are made at the State House, while Kyle pulled back the curtain on what public service looks like behind the scenes.
