A Winter Wonderland of Great Achievements at Region 15 Schools

Visitors to the Region 15 website have already seen its benefits this year. All the latest information regarding school delays and cancellations are immediately posted on the red scroll on the home page of the website. So while you're drinking your morning coffee and hearing the snowplows roar by your driveway, check the website for the day's most up-to-date school information. Then pour yourself another cup of coffee and enjoy watching the snowflakes fall.

Do you want to see where your child's school ranks against other schools in Connecticut? Take a look at the newly-posted School Profiles as listed in the blue, left-hand column. The reports are grouped by "regular education by district", "regular education by Region 15 school" and "special education by district." Not surprisingly, we have very hard working students and staff here in Region 15.

Please be aware that Thursday, Dec. 23rd is NOT an early release day. But there is no school on Dec. 24th. Happy Holidays.

Did You Know? NEW PHS FIELD & GYMNASIUM

Each month, the PTO publishes a one-page informational bulletin, entitled "Did You Know?" December's Did You Know informed parents about the new PHS field and gymnasium. Check the Region 15 website, under Parent-Teacher-Organization, for the most up-to-date Did You Know bulletin.

Grad Night 2005 

Grad Night is an all-night, alcohol-free celebration for the Pomperaug High School graduates. But the Grad Night Committee needs your help. 

"Grad Night is the community's gift to the graduates," said Andrea White, coordinator of Grad Night. "We're looking for committee members from throughout the district, including the middle schools, elementary schools, as well as citizens without children in the school system."
