North Street School Principal, Ms. Jill Flood shared, "While we may be far apart we are still a North Street School community united. We are trying to keep our spirit alive and keep our families engaged in some fun activities each week. This week would have been International Week at school, so we decided we should proceed! NS students and their families represent 52 different countries and 18 different languages from around the world. That is amazing! We are so very fortunate to have such a culturally rich and diverse population. We have so much to share with each other and learn from each other. Our families are all very proud of our heritage and we want to celebrate that diversity and help our children understand that there is so much beauty in the world and so many amazing places and cultures to learn about. We hope they will love learning a little bit about where their own ancestors came from while also building their curiosity to explore the many wonderful places their classmates and friends come from as well!"

As noted in the Superintendent's Update, Greenwich Public Schools has welcomed Dr. Katy Noble of Sound Beach Pediatrics as the District's Medical Advisor.

In this role, she advises the Board of Education and administrators on policies and procedures of the health program and works to support and improve the health of students and staff. "Dr. Katy" will be supporting school nurses: to consult on children with health issues, to check complete immunization of students, and to serve on a multidisciplinary team to help children with special needs or who are medically fragile. She works to support and provide health education on multiple levels. Dr. Katy has also been a valuable member of our Emergency Preparation Team given the current health emergency related to COVID-19, and has shared a resource page with the school community.
