Important Reminders / General Info
- I am out of the building almost all of Monday at meetings (8:00-10:00 AM & 12:00-4:00 PM).

LOCK DOWN
Board of Education Meeting: Tuesday, 7:30 PM, Council Chambers
I am not sure of the support the plan will have nor who will come out from the community to speak for or against it. It might be helpful for those very negatively impacted this year (and who are Newtown Residents) to be present and prepared to say a few words.
Article: A Relevant Read
I realize schedules have been interrupted and there has been so much to do, so I am repeating the inclusion of this important and relevant article. Considering how often I hear people saying they are struggling with student behavior, I was surprised at how few opened and read the article. This is helpful information for ALL of us regardless of your role. The students that push us away the most, need us on their side the most.
