Welcome to the Community
Resource Officer |
Please join me in welcoming Officer Dan Norck as our
newly appointed Community Resource Office. Officer
Norck comes to us from the Southbury Police Department,
and he is getting acquainted with the students at PHS
and RMS. He plans also to schedule visits to GES and
PES. The Community Resource Officer’s duties include
safety education, conflict resolution, and
intervention. I am confident that Officer Norck will
enhance the school environment and promote a partnership
between the school system and the Police Department. |

Lunch Price Increases |
Our
goal is to provide healthy, nutritious, and affordable
lunches for our students. We continually strive to hold
the line on costs. Recent increases passed on to us by
vendors as well as the introduction of healthier food
options necessitate a $.50 increase in lunch prices for
2007-08. Please note the increase as follows:
|
Elementary school lunches |
$2.30 |
|
Middle School and High School lunches |
$2.50 |
