Right after our Back-To-School Block Party, we will host the second Coffee Talk with Dr. Abdel-Hady at the Sage Park Middle School Library. We invite you all to join our Superintendent to discuss the new and updated dress code and cell phone policies, pay-to-play, and a brand-new Windsor Early Learning Model (WELM). You may RSVP for the Coffee Talk by following this link.
Coffee Talk with Dr. Abdel-Hady is happening today at 11:00 am, and we still have some spots available! Sign up to attend the first coffee talk of the year by following this link.
Do you want your school district to hear your voice? Do you want to learn why certain policies are made? Do you want to ask questions that only school leadership could answer? Come over to a Coffee Talk with Dr. Abdel-Hady! Together with school principals and administrators, Dr. Hady is hosting monthly Coffee Talks that are created so that the district can hear directly from you - a student, a parent, a community member. Our first two coffee talks will happen next week: 8/25 at 11:00 am at the Bean @226 (226 Broad St, Windsor, CT 06095) and 8/27 at 6:30 pm at the Sage Park Middle School Library (25 Sage Park Road, Windsor, CT, 06095). RSVP here.
The incident is under investigation by the Windsor Police Department. Windsor Public Schools is cooperating fully and has provided all available information, including security footage.
We are assessing the extent of the damage and cannot yet estimate repair or replacement costs or timelines. Our priority is a thorough assessment, and we will work to restore the playground as quickly and safely as possible.
We recognize that structures like this require significant time, planning, and resources to replace, and we are evaluating all options. The playground will be closed until further notice for safety.
Regardless of the outcome, our commitment remains the same: ensuring students have safe, meaningful opportunities for outdoor play. If the playground is not ready for the start of the school year, alternative plans will be in place during restoration.
