As the holiday season unfolds, let me first wish each of you a happy and healthy 2023.
This sentiment carries a lot more weight in a post-pandemic world, especially as we embark upon the cold and flu season. Please be mindful of your well-being in the coming weeks and take the time to rest and take care of yourselves.
I am excited for 2023 and all the learning and accomplishments it will bring to each of our schools, as well as to students and faculty. While I'm not a huge fan of resolutions, I can say that our administration is committed to making it the best year possible.
But first, we must get through the winter months and with them, the possibility of inclement weather. Official announcements concerning school cancellations and early dismissal are received by every student using the most recent contact information provided to your child's school. If that information has changed, please let your school's secretary know immediately. The contact list is updated regularly.
Finally, while this is a season of giving, it also is a season of need. If you or someone you know is in need of food, utilities, healthcare services or basic necessities, I urge you to reach out to Fairfield County 2-1-1 at fairfieldcounty211.org for a comprehensive list of available resources. And of course, your school's faculty members are willing to help you find answers when possible.
I hope this holiday is merry and bright for each of you and I look forward to all that we will accomplish in the coming year.
Sincerely,
Nathan Hale, Superintendent
