After Long Hiatus, Enfield Students Return to School Buildings

ENFIELD, CT — After nearly six months of relative isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic, students returned to school buildings in Enfield Tuesday morning under a hybrid learning plan.

The plan approved by Enfield school officials calls for students with last names beginning with A-K to attend classes in person on Mondays and Tuesdays, with remote learning on Thursdays and Fridays. Students with names from L-Z will follow the opposite schedule, learning from home on Mondays and Tuesdays and having in-school classes on Thursdays and Fridays.

Wednesdays have been designated as remote learning for all students districtwide, in order for deep cleaning to be performed in all buildings.

Superintendent of Schools Chris Drezek said, "Everything has been smooth so far." He reported about 28 percent of students opted out of in-person school, choosing remote learning instead.
