Dear Waterbury Public Schools Community,
In collaboration with Mayor Neil M.

Students returning to the classroom will continue to follow the appropriate mitigation strategies, such as social distancing and mask protocols.

High school Athletic programs will resume per the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) guidelines. Details will be communicated through each school’s administration and Athletic Director.
It is my hope that we will, through our collective efforts, be able to keep our students in school for the remainder of the school year. I know my entire staff will continue to work tirelessly to educate our children during these extraordinary times while maintaining a safe and healthy learning environment.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Stay safe.
Sincerely,
Dr. Verna D. Ruffin
Superintendent of Schools
