Supt. Cheryl McWilliams said that Tolman High School students decided on having their prom, delayed from the end of May to the first week in June to take it beyond the May 28 deadline for rules to relax in Rhode Island.

Pawtucket has already vaccinated 650 students between the ages of 16 and 18. The state s goal is for them to vaccinate 1,700 more students in that age group.
High schools across Rhode Island have scheduled vaccination clinics for their students over the age of 16; the first one was Monday at Cranston High School East. Gov. Dan McKee said last week that his administration would work with any high school that wants to host a vaccination clinic for students.
