We hope you are off to a great start to the year - back into the routines and beginning to make new memories!

In this edition of Communications Corner, I'd like to take a moment to introduce to you our Board building liaisons, Sub-committee members, and new student liaison. Please feel free to reach out to your school's liaison to ask questions, share ideas or to simply say hello, they would love to hear from you!

Building Liaisons:

• Windermere School - Dr. Lenora Williams
• Center School - Marcia Kupferschmid
• Crystal Lake School - Miriam Underwood
• Ellington Middle School - Steve Viens
• Ellington High School - Angela Moser
• BASES/TEPSEP - Jenn Mullin

We're so happy to see you back in the hallways!

We were excited to welcome EHS' newly appointed student liaison at her first official meeting on September 25th. We look forward to hearing all the EHS updated from the student perspective!

Welcome, Rebecca!

Board of Education Members and EPS Administration gathered for a two day retreat packed with session work and focused planning ahead of the school year. We can't wait to share with you throughout the year! Visit our website to check out all of the new additions!

Mike Young, Gary Blanchette, Steve Viens, Greg Kliman, Scott Nicol, Angie Moser, Lenora Williams, Miriam Underwood, Dale Wilson, Alisha Carpino and Jenn Hill

The staff came together for a great kick-off to the year with our district Convocation. Dr. Nicol shared his message with staff “Tending to Balance” with a continued focus on partnering with families so students may engage in challenging societal topics. Jon Moser shared his enlightening presentation, “Embracing AI in Education” followed by a robust Q&A with the group. Chair Jennifer Dzen, Miriam Underwood, Gary Blanchette, Angie Moser, Steve Viens, and Mike Young were all in attendance!

A fun annual event where our new certified staff and BOE members get to meet face-to-face and get to know each other! We always look forward to this event and our newest members of the Ellington Family are off to a great start!
