Cranston Schools Welcome First Students

Thursday, August 27 is the first day of school for Cranston Public Schools students in kindergarten, grade 1, grade 6, and grade 9. The district's current calendar lists those grades as the first students to return, with all grades reporting the next day. Edgewood families with children in those grades should plan for the return to school on August 27 and review their individual school's arrival, dismissal, and transportation instructions before classes begin. The district calendar identifies the opening date for the 2026-27 school year.
