Continued Educational Learning

It has been almost two weeks since schools closed in East Haven and we miss our students! Although we will remain closed at this point until April 20th, per the Governor’s order, we are looking forward to reconnecting with our students as part of our online continued educational learning.

Please read the critical information below to help you prepare for your child’s continued schooling.

CONTINUED EDUCATIONAL LEARNING ONLINE

• All K-12 students will need a Chromebook or device and an internet connection for our online learning
• We will launch our K-12 continued education learning on April 1st for all students
• Classes WILL be held during the week of April vacation (April 13th-17th) so plan on having your child prepared to work during this time
• There will be no classes on Good Friday (April 10th) and Memorial Day (May 25th)
• Soon you will receive more information and details from your child’s school and teachers

We recognize that this is a big shift for all of us. While uncomfortable, and filled with unknowns, it remains a great opportunity for all of us to explore and grow together as an educational community. We ask that you be patient with us, and yourselves, as we navigate this new and exciting time together.

In Partnership,

Erica Forti, Superintendent

SBHC Update:

COVID-19 has caused many changes in the healthcare community. Community Health Center, Inc. wants to make sure patients and their families stay informed about new healthcare opportunities. SBHC is pleased to offer medical and behavioral health video or phone visits with secure, confidential telehealth service.

During the time your child is home, you can use the Spring into Success activity plans to provide your children with some learning time each day. We understand that many families face challenges, and so we have tried to make our offerings as flexible as possible. If you would like to request a paper packet of materials for home use, please call (203) 468-3860 and provide your child’s name and child’s grade level. Copies can be mailed to you, or picked up at one of our meal pick up sites starting Wednesday, March 18.

During the time your child is home, they can continue to access the majority of applications found within their Clever Portal. Clever works on any web-enabled device including PCs, Macs and Chromebooks. Students should choose the "Log in with Google" option.

East Haven Public Schools has been working closely with the East Shore District Health Department (ESDHD) regarding 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) planning. The ESDHD is in regular communication with our local town officials and Connecticut Department of Public Health, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure the health and safety of our community.

Due to our school closure related to COVID-19, the East Haven School Lunch Program will operate meal service for all persons (18 and under) under the direction of the CT State Department of Education version of the Summer Food Service Program.
