Welcome Message

I am excited to begin the 2026–2027 school year as the new Principal of Captain Isaac Paine School and to join the wonderful Captain Isaac Paine School community!

Originally from Upstate New York, my family relocated to Rhode Island nine years ago. We now live in East Greenwich, where I live with my husband, Tom, our three children, Teddy, Julia, and Connor, and our dog, Kobe. I am looking forward to meeting everyone, building meaningful relationships, and becoming a part of the Foster community. If you see me around the school or at an event, please don't hesitate to stop by and say hello, I would love the opportunity to meet you and your family.

I believe that strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student success. I look forward to working together with our students, families, and staff to create a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to thrive. I can't wait to meet you all at upcoming school events and throughout the school year. Together, I am confident we will make the 2026–2027 school year a wonderful one for our students.

Mrs. Barrett
