Our celebration of Paraeducator Week continues! Check out these amazing teams of paraeducators from across Norwalk Public Schools. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and the incredible support you provide to our students and staff every day. We appreciate you!

Thanks @ConnectSafely for selecting Roton to win a grant! Tech Team ran a Google Meet Q & A and shared a video they made about a Media Literacy Hero and Fake News Villains based on their lesson! #SaferInternetDay #dpvils

A lot of people seem to not realize that some students are more expensive to educate because they have higher levels of need that require additional staffing. Private schools simply do not accept those students in the first place.

CT State Norwalk is offering NPS juniors and seniors enrollment in a Certificate Program and Course Opportunity. Scholars must be 16+ and have a 2.0+ cumulative GPA. Students enrolled in Twilight or Virtual Academies can also apply. Click to apply! buff.ly/4iZNcGv

@JetBlue Wow. Your communication keeps getting better and better. Waited an hour on the runway and then they tell us we're not going to Westchester. #notacceptable

@JetBlue be transparent. We were told HPN was shut down but the later flight from Orlando landed at 1:59 am.

@JetBlue Train your pilots to communicate with passengers. Orlando to Westchester but landed at Bradley with no communication.

Monday, we announced the upcoming launch of #TRLCurrReports on May 1. We're thrilled to empower curriculum decision makers & educators with a reliable resource to discern the full scope of evidence-aligned practices in current curricula. 🧠 Read more at: bit.ly/3Q5KrXp

#RISENetwork recently led the 1st Grade 9 community of practice in Norwalk. The teams toasted to their 22-23 successes and used the RISE Data Hub to access our Strategic Data Calendar, enabling them to map out their meeting topics and data sets for Q1.
