Shelton Schools Returning To In-Person Learning

The school district has been on full remote status since mid-November.

SHELTON, CT — Shelton Public Schools will reopen for in-person learning on Monday after around two months on full remote status.

Kindergarten through 6th grade students will have four days of in-person learning per week while the rest of the grades will be on a hybrid schedule, according to the Shelton Herald. Everyone will learn remotely on Wednesdays.

The Reopen Shelton Schools executive committee will meet at the end of January to decide how to proceed later into the year.
