Preparing For The New School Year

With the start of school just around the corner, teachers and staff will be quickly getting back into their school year schedules.

At this week’s Board of Education meeting, Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson announced that teachers and staff will be attending meetings this week to welcome them back or to the schools. Assistant Superintendent Linda Gejda said Newtown has a really welcoming community for new teachers.

“It’s really a great opportunity for us as a community to stop and think about what is our vision,” said Dr Gejda, when explaining the welcoming process for new teachers and staff.

New teachers and staff will go through different orientations to prepare them and welcome them this week. Dr Robinson said it is like the new school year has already begun for district.

“Every new teacher and staff member has a mentor; this district has a strong support system,” said Dr Gejda.
