Good Afternoon Windham Community, I wanted to let you know that tonight’s football game and field dedication ceremony will go on as scheduled. We have a number of safety protocols in place to ensure the wellbeing of our student athletes. We also want to remind spectators to stay cool and hydrated, as your safety matters as well. Finally, I appreciate families understanding my decision to dismiss our schools early for the past three days. I know just how disruptive this can be. I hope to see many of you at tonight’s football game. Go, Whippets! Tracy A. Youngberg Superintendent

Good Afternoon Windham Community, I wanted to let you know that we are going to join some of the districts in the region and call an early dismissal for tomorrow, Friday, September 8th. Our school and classroom temperatures registered as high as 88 degrees today and we are not anticipating much of a cool down overnight. Please note, tomorrow night’s much anticipated first home football game and the field dedication ceremony is still scheduled. We are in the process of gathering information to determine if our football team can safely play tomorrow at 7pm and will share that decision tomorrow. Thank you and have a good night. Tracy A. Youngberg Superintendent

Good afternoon Windham Community, The District will again follow an early dismissal schedule tomorrow, Thursday, September 7th due to the extreme heat. Thank you for your cooperation. Tracy Youngberg Superintendent

Good Afternoon Windham Community, I would like to share an update related to the extremely warm weather forecast. Some of our classrooms across the district today registered temps in the 80’s and we do not expect temperatures or the humidity levels to cool off for a few days. So, we are joining regional districts and calling an early dismissal for tomorrow, Wednesday September 6th, for all Windham Public Schools. The early dismissal times are as follows: • Windham High School and CORE/AWP will dismiss at 11:20am • Windham Middle School will dismiss at 11:40am • C. H. Barrows STEM Academy will dismiss at 12:00pm • Sweeney, Natchaug, Windham Center and North Windham Schools will dismiss at 12:30pm, and • Windham Early Childhood Center will dismiss at 12:45pm We know early dismissals can be disruptive to our families, but we believe it will help us to keep students and staff safe. The district will provide an update tomorrow should another early dismissal be necessary. Thank you and have a good night. Tracy Youngberg Superintendent

16 de junio 2023 Buenas tardes comunidad de Windham, Me gustaría compartir con ustedes una actualización del año escolar 2022-2023. Para todas las escuelas, excepto la Academia STEM Barrows, hoy fue el último día del año. Quiero felicitar a nuestros estudiantes por completar este año escolar, así como a sus familias que trabajaron incansablemente detrás de escena para hacer que el año sea exitoso para sus hijos. También necesito celebrar al dedicado personal de las Escuelas Públicas de Windham, ya que su arduo trabajo es muy apreciado. Para nuestros estudiantes de 5 y 8 grado que han sido promovidos a nuevas escuelas, ¡felicidades! Esperamos verlo dar los próximos pasos a lo largo de su viaje educativo. Esta noche graduaremos la Clase de 2023 de la Escuela Secundaria de Windham en Eastern Connecticut State University. Estamos increíblemente orgullosos de estos graduados y los diversos caminos que han elegido más allá de la escuela secundaria. Sabemos que continuarán haciendo que el distrito se sienta orgulloso como ex alumnos de la Escuela Secundaria de Windham. Visite el sitio web del distrito para obtener más información sobre la Clase de 2023. https://5il.co/1wps6 . ¡Arriba Whippets! Como recordatorio, la Academia STEM Barrows tendrá medio día de clases el martes 20 de junio. Como recordarán, esto fue requerido por el Estado como compensación por el día escolar que fue cancelado el 2 de junio debido al incendio del vehículo en su campus. Finalmente, quiero desear a toda la comunidad de las Escuelas Públicas de Windham unas vacaciones de verano saludables y felices. Estudiantes, por favor encuentren un equilibrio con mantener sus mentes y cuerpos activos en julio y agosto. Los materiales de aprendizaje de verano, que recomendamos encarecidamente que completen nuestros estudiantes, se pueden encontrar en el sitio web del distrito en windhamps.org. Para aquellos que asisten a nuestros programas ampliados de escuela de verano, todos están programados para comenzar el lunes 10 de julio. La comunicación adicional del distrito ocurrirá antes del inicio de la escuela de verano. ¡Felices vacaciones de verano a todos! Tracy Youngberg Superintendente
