Tiverton Middle School

Recently, the Tiverton Middle School Mock Trial Team took its passion for the law on the road, starting with an exclusive tour of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. Our students went behind the scenes of the state’s highest court to see the judicial process in action. They met with several local judges and had the invaluable opportunity to learn firsthand about the career paths and dedication required to become courtroom leaders. The trip concluded with a powerful visit to the RI State Archives, where students stood face-to-face with two historic versions of the Declaration of Independence. Seeing these documents reminded our students that the laws they argue in mock trials today are rooted in the courageous words written centuries ago.

It was a Wonderful Wednesday at TMS as the girl’s basketball team hosted their final home game with friends, family and fans! The atmosphere was festive with decorations provided by team parents and light concessions and TMS Swag available compliments of PTO & Boosters. This was the perfect time to debut the new school mascot, Louis, named in honor of the late, great Louis Bitar who had a tremendous impact on Tiverton Schools during his wonderful career. GO TIGERS!

Great day of professional learning in TPS! Our educators spent the day digging into TouchView in elementary classrooms and working on curriculum alignment across grades 4–12. These conversations help ensure students experience consistent, engaging learning as they move from one grade to the next. Thank you to our staff for the collaboration, and commitment to our students - we’re always learning together! 🐯📚
