Can't Believe It's August: Latest Update On School Reopening Plan

MADISON, CT — Interim Superintendent of Schools JeanAnn C. Paddyfote said in an update to families that it's hard to believe August is here. And there's a lot to do even if it's still not crstal clear what back-to-school will look like come September.

"August will be a very busy month as we move closer to reopening. This process is fluid and continues to evolve as more information becomes available," she wrote in an update. "We want our reopening to be a successful and safe experience for everyone."

In the update you can find here, there's a call for parents to fill out a survey to help schools help families.

"In an effort to support our families during challenging times, Madison Public Schools is interested in developing a mini webinar series on topics of interest. In order to encourage the best opportunities for our families to access these webinars, we would most likely be offering this series in the late afternoon or evening with a maximum of a 30-minute block of time," the survey reads. "These topics are being considered for our first trimester of our miniseries. Your input is important!"
