Windham Public Schools

Good Afternoon Windham Families, First, we are still doing well in terms of COVID cases and have been averaging about 6 positives per week. Staff and students should continue to stay home when they are not feeling well report any positive test results to their school nurses. We continue to track data on the District Dashboard. Next, last night the Board of Finance unanimously approved the 2022-23 Board of Education Budget. On Wednesday, April 20th at 6pm, the Board of Finance will hold its Public Hearing on the Board and Town Budgets. The Public Hearing will be a hybrid meeting, meaning you can attend in person on the second floor of the Town Hall or join the meeting virtually. We would love for our parents, teachers and even students to share their thoughts about the school budget at the Public Hearing on April 20th. You can find information about our budget on our website. Go to windhamps.org, click the Explore button, then, click on the Financial Information link listed under the Board section. Finally, tomorrow the district will be closed in observance of Good Friday and next week our schools will be closed for our Spring Vacation. When we return from Spring Break there are approximately 8 weeks left of the 2021-22 school year. I am looking forward to our student attendance data improving district wide during the last couple of months of school. I am looking for all of our schools to end this year in a joyful and productive manner. Have a wonderful spring vacation and for those who celebrate please have a Happy Easter or a Happy Passover.

Buenas noches familias de Windham, Esta noche, la Junta de Educación votó unánimemente para eliminar el mandato de máscaras en nuestras escuelas K-12 y en nuestros autobuses escolares a partir de mañana, jueves 3 de marzo. Esto significa que los estudiantes y el personal ya no están obligados a usar máscaras, pero son bienvenidos a hacerlo si así lo desean. Los salones de primera infancia todavía están obligadas a seguir el mandato federal de máscaras.

Tonight the Board of Education voted unanimously to eliminate the mask mandate in our K-12 schools and on our school buses effective tomorrow, Thursday, March 3rd. This means students and staff are no longer required to wear masks, but are welcome to do so if they so choose. The Early Head Start and Head Start classrooms are still required to follow the federal mask mandate. Tracy A. Youngberg, Ed.D. Superintendent of Windham Public Schools

Good afternoon, Due to the impending storm, all Windham Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, February 25, 2022. Thank you and please stay safe.
