The start of the holiday season is here, bringing yet another
milestone in what has been an unprecedented year. While Thanksgiving
celebrations will undoubtedly look different in 2020, the holiday should remain
an opportunity to pause and reflect on life’s blessings.
At NPS, we are grateful to have families and staff who have
embraced and respected our comprehensive health and safety protocols. Although
COVID cases are on the rise across the state and country, Norwalk Public
Schools will continue to work to the best of our ability to provide in-person
and hybrid learning options for our students.
To continue doing so, we need your help to keep everyone safe.
Throughout the holiday season, we ask that you keep reinforcing
the same safety measures we are using inside of school to help stop the spread
of COVID. This includes keeping gatherings small, preferably only with those
living in your household. Watch your distance, wear a mask and wash your hands.
For more information and guidance about how to celebrate the holidays during
the COVID pandemic, the State of Connecticut has guidance available by clicking

Importantly, please note that
anyone considering travel outside the state over the holiday should check the
State Travel Advisory for information about which states are on the list of
mandatory 14-day quarantines. Click here for the latest version.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge our NPS teachers and staff
for their tireless work over the past months. Their dedication and commitment have
enabled students to learn in a safe and productive environment. We are also
thankful for the support of our families, and incredibly proud of the
resilience that our community has shown this year.
No matter what your tradition is, or how different Thanksgiving
may be this year, we wish all our NPS families a safe and relaxing holiday and
long weekend.
