ATTENTION FRESHMAN PARENTS:

Hello, Freshmen – soon-to-be Sophomores!!  

March 29th – April 9th are dates that have been dedicated to you!  Your school counselor has, or will be, reaching out to you to review your course selections for next school year.
Your subject area teachers recommend your main subjects (e.g math and English).  You get to select electives!

A video link was previously shared with you.  This link explains how to explore the many elective courses that you are able to select.  After speaking with the counselors, I know many of you have gone in and selected your choices.  Thank you!  This will make your counselor meeting more focused on your goals and subject area interests. 

If you have not already done so, please click on the attachment to review this process and go in to select your electives.
*IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COMPLETE THIS PRIOR TO MEETING WITH YOUR COUNSELOR*
Also attached is a chart with counselor’s emails, should you have any questions. 

While your freshmen year was anything but ordinary, I look forward to your upcoming “golden” years at EHS.  You will be seniors in no time at all!

Dear Members of the Enfield High School Community,

On March 15, 2021, the Enfield Public Schools was notified that a member of our school community has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19). The affected person has been instructed to remain home in self-isolation for 10 days and has been provided with additional instructions to follow prior to returning to school. Family members have also been instructed to self-quarantine and get tested.

The last day this person was in Enfield High School was Thursday March 11, 2021. Anyone who is considered a “close contact” with this person has been contacted or will be contacted by school or local health officials and provided with instructions on the appropriate steps to take.

COVID-19 is spread mainly via person-to-person contact through contaminated air droplets from coughing and sneezing by an infected person. As with controlling the spread of other viruses, we urge everyone to discuss the following preventive measures with your children and family members: 

• Wash your hands frequently, but especially after using the restroom and before preparing or consuming food. Using soap and hot water, wash for about 20 seconds. Be sure to also wash your fingertips. When soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer.
• Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze inside the elbow of your arm.
• As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
• Wear a face covering (mask) whenever there is a likelihood that you or your family members will be in the presence of others.
• Maintain social distancing (at least 6 feet) between yourself and others when outside of your home.

Below is the list of COVID-19 symptoms for which everyone should monitor in their family members:

• Fever (100.4° Fahrenheit or higher)
• Chills or shaking chills
• Uncontrolled new cough (not due to other known cause, such as chronic cough)
• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• New loss of taste or smell

For additional information on COVID-19 symptoms, please see:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

Staff and students exhibiting any of the above symptoms, or feeling ill, should remain home and call their medical provider to report their symptoms and ask about testing prior to seeking in-person care at a clinic, physician’s office, or hospital.

For more information on what to do if you or a family member has possible symptoms, a diagnosis, or exposure to COVID-19, please see Addendum 5: Interim Guidance for Responding to COVID-19 Scenarios in Connecticut School Districts, available here:

https://portal.ct.gov/SDE/COVID19/COVID-19-Resources-for-Families-and-Educators/Addendums-and-FAQs

We are closely monitoring this situation and working with The North Central Health District and will provide you with updates as we know more. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you - and stay well, 

Christopher J. Drezek 

Superintendent of Schools
