How Are You Feeling About Distance Learning?
Food Service Update
This is a reminder that we have a free breakfast and lunch service for ALL students 18 years and younger.
The Route Schedule for Drop-off is included in this link. We hope you take advantage of this service, if you are interested in receiving free breakfast and/or lunch. Please encourage your student to bring a reusable bag or backpack with them to pick-up lunch should they need to bring home additional bagged lunches for their siblings.
For those families who participate in the Filling in the Blanks program, bags will be available at JC on Friday morning at 11:15.
If your family needs additional assistance during this time, please reach out to Neighbor to Neighbor at (203) 622-9208.

~Mrs. McGuire
As all of us around the world confront this difficult new period, we recognize the importance—and the challenge—of staying relaxed and entertained, especially for kids at home who are missing the stimulation of the classroom. From the beginning, Audible has served as an antidote to loneliness and even isolation, as a way to hear words that inspire and transport and for many – words that teach and entertain in deeply intimate ways.
With all of us experiencing varying degrees of social distancing and school closures, we have created something that we hope makes our customers’ lives a little easier. At stories.audible.com, you will find hundreds of our titles available completely free. The collection has been handpicked by our editors and is a mix of stories to entertain, engage, and inform young people, ages 0–18.
These stories offer a screen-free option that we hope may help break up the day for families with students home from school.
There are selections for our listeners in English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese and Italian.
To access the free titles, just visit stories.audible.com from any web browser.
The experience is completely free – no log-ins, credit cards, or passwords required. Just click, stream and listen.
We wish you and your loved ones good health, and we hope that listening to a good story will offer some respite during these unsettling times.
All of us at Audible
