Old Glory Waves High above Snow on Long Lots Road
The American Flag waves high on the hill outside of the Hartford Healthcare Long Lots Road campus this morning as a period of heavier snow took over the community.

Superintendent: No COVID-19 Cases to Report; Reminds Families to Report Cases Even During Break
Good afternoon Westport Families and Staff,
I hope you are all enjoying the winter vacation. The District has continued to actively monitor for reports of positive COVID-19 cases associated with our schools since the start of break. I am pleased to report that as of the time I am writing to you this afternoon we have no new cases of COVID-19. This is very positive news for our schools and the greater community. We will continue with our monitoring efforts through the weekend and will provide an update either Sunday evening or Monday morning.
As a reminder, families are asked to report positive of COVID-19 cases of students using our reporting voicemail or email regardless of whether the students are in remote or hybrid models of instruction. Please follow this link for more information on reporting.
Additionally, we want to remind families that students with pending Covid-19 tests should not return to school until receiving negative results. This approach is critical in helping us continue minimizing the potential for transmission in our schools.
Respectfully,
Thomas Scarice
Superintendent of Schools
