A great day for reading at Tansey Elementary School!

The Tansey Tigers celebrated the launch of Scholastic’s United States of Readers program, which gives students in participating Title I schools the opportunity to choose and own books at no cost to their families, helping them build their own home libraries.

The day so many of us remember is history for our students.

On the 25th Anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Interim Superintendent Dr. Smith visited Kuss Middle School, where Ms. Fieldman’s 7th-grade social studies students were learning about the attacks on September 11th, including key vocabulary and the events that shaped our country and communities.

Fall River Public Schools is welcoming back a familiar face at the Resiliency Preparatory Academy (RPA). Interim Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Smith is pleased to announce that former Principal Robert Correia is returning to the school as interim principal.

Fall River Public Schools Interim Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Smith is pleased to announce that Dr. Janet Schweizer has been appointed principal of Evolve Academy, which will begin the 2026–2027 school year as a new, standalone high school in the district.

Evolve has successfully operated as a pathway within B.M.C. Durfee High School, providing a competency- and project-based approach for students who benefit from a different high school experience. In April, the Fall River School Committee voted to establish Evolve as its own high school, marking an exciting next chapter for the growing program.

The Durfee High School Class of 2026 welcomed 32 new graduates during this morning's Summer Commencement Ceremony in the Nagle Auditorium.

Durfee High School is a hub of activity this summer. This week and next, the school is welcoming the Fall River Police Department as it hosts its annual Teen Police Academy.
