Welcome to the Homepage of East Windsor Public Schools

Hello to all:

I write this message in the waning days of summer, looking forward to the beginning of another school year. I hope our students had a restful summer and had the opportunity to enjoy quiet moments, fun moments, and adventurous moments as a respite from all of the hard work of the previous school year and in preparation for more of the same in the coming year.

The custodial and office staffs have been working very hard to prepare our schools for the students and teachers return and I must say the buildings are gleaming. We have a wonderful group of very hard workers who are committed to getting the schools in pristine condition over the summer and I thank them very much for their efforts.

We have had a number of staff changes over the summer; through retirement, advancement and pursuing their careers in other districts. We said goodbye to Mr. Slattery, Mr. Sierakowski, Mr. Harrigan, Mrs. Rusiecki, Mr. Tierney, Ms. Gilson, Mrs. Corricelli, Mr. Gelbar, Mrs. Larsen, Mrs. Hildebrand, Mrs. Currey, Mrs. Tedisky. We welcome Ms. Boiczyk, Ms. D'Agostino, Mrs. Van Houten, Ms. Vokoun, and others to be named soon.

We congratulate Mrs. Helen Thomas, who was appointed Assistant Principal of the high school and Mr. Patrick Tudryn, who was appointed Assistant Principal of the Middle School. We also congratulate Mrs. Kimberly Hellerich, who was appointed Principal of the Middle School. Congratulations to Manuela Young on the birth of her first child and to Whitney Butler on the birth of her first child, as well. Congratulations to Michael Mosher and Elizabeth Bangs on their marriage. I believe we have a very strong staff and I have every confidence it is going to be a great year.

The very best part of a new school year is welcoming all of the students back to our buildings. I especially enjoy the fresh and anxious faces of our youngest students who are coming to school for the first time. There is such excitement and wonder in their eyes, along with not just a little bit of fear. It takes no time at all for the fear to vanish and the enthusiasm to kick in. In a cost cutting effort this year, due to the serious outcome of the budget process, we have had to consolidate bus routes and require more walking to school of students who live in close proximity to both Broad Brook School and East Windsor Middle School. The bus routes have been posted on our website.

The high school will be following a new A/B schedule this year. The schedule will follow periods A, B, C, D on A Day and E, F, G, H on B Day, and alternate accordingly. The first day of school for grades PK through Grade 9 is Monday, August 30. This will allow our high school freshmen to acclimate to the new school environment, as well as their schedules, prior to the upper classmen being in attendance. Parents of Grade 9 students are welcome and encouraged to attend this half day of school in order to become familiar with the high school schedule and layout, as well. At 11:00, a barbeque lunch will be hosted by Mr. O’Reilly and myself to welcome students and parents to the high school. The first day of school for Grades 10-12 will be Tuesday, August 31.

Finally, as I'm sure everyone now knows, I'm leaving East Windsor to begin a new journey in Wethersfield Public Schools. I leave with a heavy heart and very mixed emotions because the families of East Windsor have become my family over the years. I leave confident in the knowledge that East Windsor Public Schools will continue to grow, succeed and thrive. You are in good hands with the administrative team that we have in place, the highly qualified teachers that come to work every day dedicated to your children and their craft, and with a student body that is eager and willing to learn. I may be absent from the district but I will continue to monitor its progress and cheer for its successes. I wish you all a wonderful school year.

Again, my deepest thanks and appreciation for all that you do to make our schools a thriving, happy, positive place for the children of East Windsor.

Sincerely,

Timothy S. Howes

Superintendent of Schools
