Superintendent Letter: Learning Plan Update
District
Dear Families,
We plan to remain in a full in-person learning model until at least April 30, 2021.
Fully remote learners are still being honored by the Governor’s Office.
COVID-19 vaccines are now available to all persons in CT age 16 and older. For more information about vaccine clinics https://portal.ct.gov/vaccine-portal/COVID-19-Vaccination-Scheduling-Options
Reminder, April 12-16 is spring vacation and there is no school. Please follow the Department of Health’s COVID protocols (wear masks, maintain social distancing, frequent hand washing, avoid large gatherings) so that we can finish the school year strong and safe.
