The newly developed Preston Public Schools Strategic Plan reflects the tenets of a global, optimistic and growth mindset that encourages an open positive outlook leading to deep learning and personal well-being.
Childhood food insecurity remains at unacceptable levels across the country and children are most acutely at risk in the summer when they do not have access to school meals. There were 689 sites in the summer of 2017 across Connecticut offering free meals to children 18 years and younger, yet only 1 out of 4 of CT’s children who access school meals are accessing Free Summer Meals.
PLEASE NOTE: Even if you do not have a Summer Meals program in your town, children ages 18 and younger may visit Open Summer Meals sites anywhere in the state to receive a meal. There is no application, identification or commitment to participate in Summer Meals.
If you have any questions about Summer Meals, please contact Caroline Cooke at the CSDE at caroline.cooke@ct.gov or 860-807-2144 or visit Ct Summer Meals
The Connecticut Department of Education (CSDE) revised their Smarter Balanced Assessment Reports. The report will now present two years of scores, comparing them side by side. CSDE made this change to emphasize a criterion-referenced interpretation for both achievement (i.e., how did my child perform relative to the achievement expectations) and growth (i.e., how did my child’s performance change from one year to the next). As in past years, the report retains the normative data (i.e., district and school averages) in order to provide parents with an additional reference.

To assist parents with the interpretation of this Smarter Balanced report, the CSDE has created brief videos that are available in both English and Spanish. Those have been posted for your convenience.
