Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, the following schools will have new school hours:
🏫 Agnes E. Little Elementary School
🏫 Curvin-McCabe Elementary School
🏫 Potter-Burns Elementary School
🕘 New School Hours: 9:00 a.m. – 3:10 p.m.
Following a comprehensive transportation study conducted over the past two years, the Pawtucket School Committee approved this change to improve transportation efficiency, strengthen the reliability of bus service, and save approximately $360,000 annually (allowing more district resources to remain focused on students and classrooms)
We also understand this change may affect family routines. To help support families, especially those with children attending multiple schools, the district is developing before- and after-school programming at each of the three affected schools. These programs are intended to provide safe, supervised care and additional flexibility during this transition.
Families will receive updated bus schedules, program information, and additional details before the start of the school year.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to provide every Pawtucket student with a safe, supportive, and high-quality educational experience.
