Moving Forward - An Update from the Normandy Joint Executive Governing Board
It has been a year since the pandemic took hold causing a major disruption in all of our lives, particularly our students. Our team and our community responded quickly to the issues at hand and made necessary shifts to keep our children safe and to maintain a connection through the use of technology.
As the reality of the situation set in, we also had a major choice in front us: forge ahead with the changes articulated in our recently completed community-driven strategic planning process, or, delay. Knowing that our students could not afford another year without significant gains, and seeing that the pandemic would only intensify the support our students would need, we made the challenging decision to keep going.

District Kicks Off COVID Health & Safety Campaign
COVID diagnoses are going the right way -- down -- and we want to do our part to help ensure that trend continues!
Normandy is launching the Be Safe! Be Healthy! Be #NormandyStrong! COVID health and safety campaign. Staff members should have received a COVID safety pack, with face masks, hand sanitizer, and mints. In the coming weeks, we will share videos featuring staff members and reminding staff and families of the healthy habits and tips to get COVID out of our community.
Another component of the campaign is a Student Art Contest. We're asking our talented students to share any artwork, videos or other visual art medium reminding us of ways to stay healthy. Students will be awarded prizes including gift cards. Details and entry information to come soon!
Working together we can help get back to normal and get all students back in the buildings. Be Safe! Be Healthy! Be #NormandyStrong!
