It’s been a dream of the Warwick School District to implement the facility dog initiative in our schools for a number of years. After seeing the impact that dogs have on students, staff and the community, the district worked with the staff, community, and the Warwick Education Foundation in order to implement the program.

Warwick School District appreciates all the support for this initiative from our families and community members, we are thrilled to welcome the dogs into our buildings.
