Trumbull Public Schools

Welcome back to a new school year with the Trumbull Public Schools!

We are excited to launch this newsletter dedicated to supporting the families of our multilingual learners. Our goal is to build a strong community where we can share successes, address challenges, and celebrate the diverse languages and cultures that enrich our school. Together, we can ensure every student reaches their full potential.

In future issues, we will provide valuable resources, updates, and tips to help your children thrive academically and socially!

Thank you for being a vital part of this journey!

We are always there to support you and your children!
