Across the district, our schools came together to celebrate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Day! This year’s celebration focused on the power of new experiences, the strength of our relationships, and our shared responsibility to build a better community.
From the youngest learners enjoying puppet shows and read-alouds of Each Kindness and The Humble Pie, to older students engaging in powerful spoken word poetry and sessions led by student leaders and athletes, there was something for everyone. We were even treated to a special visit from the NH Park Rangers and a district-wide sing-along led by our own talented educators. By connecting with community partners and one another, our students practiced the empathy and inclusivity that make our schools a place where everyone belongs.
At Nathan Hale School, grade 7 students in Kristin Satawhite's science class worked together to dissect a frog. Everyone succeeded! #NHPS

We are so proud of our New Haven students and those from Bridgeport, Danbury, East Hartford, Hartford, New Britain, New London, and Windham who joined together at the Capitol to advocate for equitable school funding.
We cannot keep running today's schools on a 2013 budget. There are no more efficiencies to squeeze out. Our students deserve resources that reflect today's realities.
I am grateful to my superintendent colleagues for standing with us -- and to our students for leading the way!

What an incredible evening at the 4th Annual Call Their Names celebration honoring pioneers in civic and political leadership!
Monica Joyner was one of 14 outstanding leaders recognized — true pioneers in education and living, breathing examples of Black history today.
Hosted by State Representative Bobby Gibson and Dr. Benjamin Foster, the evening highlighted incredible heroes from across Connecticut who share one powerful common thread:
They show up for CT.
And that matters. Showing up. Doing the work. Creating impact.
Education is the only profession where you can truly see the growth — the transformation — the difference you make in real time. Monica embodies that every single day.
When we call out the names and recognize greatness, we remind our students and our communities that they can make a difference too.
Connecticut is stronger because of leaders like you. 👏🏾✨

Dear Families,
March is Reading Month. By reading with your children, you can help them develop a lifelong love for books, which foster imagination and creativity. Reading also enhances vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills, which are essential for academic success and personal development. Please take every opportunity to read with your children.
