No School Tomorrow (Friday)
As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow (Friday, April 2nd) for Good Friday.
We will also be off from school the week of April 11th for our Spring Recess.
REMINDER: If you will be traveling for Easter Weekend, over break, or for Sports, etc. please note that Manchester has updated their travel policy (which we follow). The policy now states that any out-of-state travel for more than 24 hours requires a quarantine of 10 days or a negative COVID-19 test to return to school. If you will be traveling out of state (for more than 24 hours) at any point, please reach out to Mrs. Vignati (our school nurse) at 860.643.5088 (x3) in advance to discuss required return to school protocol. Current Travel Policy.
As always, we appreciate your support as we work to keep our school community healthy and safe!
