Return to School Update

Dear Naugatuck Public School Community, I hope this letter finds you and your families well. The start to the 2022-2023 school year is just a few days away.  We are incredibly excited to soon welcome all students back to learning, connecting, and growing in our schools!  As a reminder, the first day of school for students is Wednesday, August 31, 2022.   I write to you today to share some information regarding our updated  COVID-19 Guidelines / Safe Return to School Plan .   Earlier this month, the Connecticut Department of Public Health, the State Department of Education, and the Office of Early Childhood released new school guidance entitled,  “ Launching into Healthy Learning ”  for the 2022-2023 school year.  The guidance is designed to keep students healthy and learning in person as much as possible throughout the school year.   As we have done the past two years, our approach aligns with the updated guidance from the state departments and Naugatuck Valley Health Department and continues to shift towards a routine prevention model for COVID-19 which includes:    Continuing to engage in daily monitoring for symptoms and staying home when sick. Encouraging COVID-19 vaccination for all eligible students and staff, including booster vaccine doses when appropriate. Supporting students and staff who choose to continue to wear a mask even when school policies do not require their use. Following isolation guidelines  for students and staff who have symptoms associated with, or have tested positive for COVID-19, including wearing a mask through day 10. Continuing to report identified cases to the school.  Schools will continue to report cases to the Connecticut Department of Public Health and will post cases to the COVID-19 dashboard beginning August 31.  We will no longer be reporting daily cases to families via ParentSquare. Mask wearing will continue to be optional unless required by isolation guidelines.   Shifting towards a symptom-based approach.  No longer requiring quarantining based on exposure if asymptomatic.  At this time, we do not have any formal social distancing practices in place. Our schools will continue to make COVID-19 self-test kits available for families through our school nurses.  Families can also order free self-test kits by visiting  covid.gov.tests . NPS will continue to implement the aforementioned strategies and other health and safety practices to safeguard the health and safety of students, faculty and staff.  Additionally, NPS will continue our ongoing collaboration with the Naugatuck Valley Health District to monitor, assess, and adjust our plans if community transmission levels require a different approach. For more specific information  please refer to our   COVID-19 Guidelines / Safe Return to School Plan   on our website.  As always, we appreciate your support as we work to keep our students, faculty, and community safe and are incredibly excited to welcome our students back to school next Wednesday, August 31! In partnership, Christopher Montini Superintendent of Schools

New Assistant Principal at City Hill Middle School

We are excited to announce the appointment of Rohinie (Roh) Criscione to the position of assistant principal at City Hill Middle School ! Mrs. Criscione will replace Frank Jawidzik, who is leaving Naugatuck for another position. Mrs. Criscione comes to Naugatuck as a well-seasoned, highly qualified educator from West Side Middle School in Waterbury, where she served as House Principal since 2014. As house principal, Mrs. Criscione worked to provide a rigorous curriculum to support a diverse group of learners. She mentored students to encourage them to advocate for themselves and promote a positive culture through strong relationships. She is well versed in school wide systems for school improvement that are aligned with school and district vision. In addition, she spent 12 years as a classroom teacher at the elementary and middle school level in Waterbury. “Continuous improvement requires the courage to change,” Mrs. Criscione said. Mrs. Criscione is a  graduate of the National Center on Education and the Economy's NISL (National Institute for School Leaders) Executive Development Program. In addition, she is currently a member of the NCEE's Leaders Collaborative. NCEE partners with education leaders around the United States to deliver professional learning intended to help them implement  successful education practices, using the world’s best research on leadership. For the past year, Mrs. Criscione has also worked as a Team Leader in Governor Ned Lamont’s initiative to address students struggling with absenteeism and disengagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. There, she recruited and trained staff to address chronic absenteeism and rebuild partnerships with students and families while reconnecting them to supports.
