On behalf of the Windsor Board of Education, I am honored to announce the appointment of Dr. Noha Abdel-Hady as the next Superintendent of Windsor Public Schools, effective July 1, 2026.

Dr. Abdel-Hady has been serving as our Acting Superintendent, where she has provided steady and thoughtful leadership while maintaining a clear focus on student achievement, educational excellence, and strong collaboration across our school community. Her commitment to the success and well-being of Windsor’s students, staff, and families has been evident throughout her service.

Parenting in 2026 feels a bit like trying to read a manual that’s being rewritten in real-time.

-The AI Frontier: Understanding how kids are using Artificial Intelligence for school and play (and what you should look out for).

The Connecticut Legislature has adjusted the birthdate cutoff for kindergarten enrollment. Starting with the 2024-2025 school year, children must turn 5 on or before September 1 to be eligible for kindergarten. Previously, the cutoff date was January 1. A child who does not meet the cutoff may still be admitted to kindergarten pursuant to Public Act 23-208 upon (1) a written request from the parent or guardian and (2) an assessment completed by the school that determines admitting the child to kindergarten would be developmentally appropriate.  

Determining developmentally appropriate skills and behaviors for kindergarten is a complex process. As we look ahead to the 2026-2027 school year, families wishing to register a child who turns 5 after September 1, 2026, can do so by completing the online waiver request.

  • If your child turns 5 on or before September 1, 2026, you DO NOT need to complete this form.

  • Once you complete the waiver, your school principal will contact you to schedule your child’s assessment. Assessments will be held monthly, starting January 2026 through August 2026.

For additional information about preparing your child for kindergarten, please see the links below:

https://www.pta.org/home/family-resources/Parents-Guides-to-Student-Success/kindergarten  

To access the waiver form and learn more, visit: https://www.windsorct.org/page/new-kindergarten-age-requirement.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to your building principal if you have any questions.
