Update from Superintendent Drezek regarding graduation tomorrow:

This is Chris Drezek, Superintendent of the Enfield Public Schools with a message for the students and families of the Class of 2021. 

As if this year hasn’t been difficult enough, at the moment it looks like mother nature is making our plans for graduation a bit more difficult. 

The latest forecast shows a line of storms exiting the Enfield area in the 7:00-8:00 pm timeframe, which would be directly during our ceremony. I’m hopeful that the forecast will change, or this line of storms will speed up, and we can go on as planned. 

However, I wanted to give everyone a heads up that since moving the ceremony indoors is not possible this year, it is possible that we will have to postpone our graduation ceremony to Wednesday the 23rd if the forecast doesn’t change. 

I want to be clear; I am not making this decision at this time; I simply want to give everyone as much time as possible to plan if our program gets altered. I made a promise that our seniors would walk down the hill at Enfield high School and get their diplomas on Bromage field, and we’re going to do everything possible to make that happen, even if it’s not on the time schedule we were planning. 

I’ll be getting weather updates every few hours with the hope of better news, and a final decision will be made tomorrow by 2:00 pm. 

In the meantime, I appreciate your patience and I hope to see you all tomorrow night, weather permitting.

Attn. Families of current Grade 10 Students: https://enfieldpto.com/f/dear-parentsguardians-of-current-10th-grade-ehs-students

PDF Version - May 2021

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of current 10th grade Enfield High students,

Connecticut General Statute 10-206 requires that all school children have a complete health assessment, including a blood test for anemia, three times during their school years. The first time is for the initial entrance into a Connecticut school.  Enfield Board of Education Policy 5141.1 requires the other two assessments be done for grade 6 and grade 10.

Both the Statute and Board Policy reflect the growing awareness of the close relationship between good health and good education. Therefore, this health assessment serves a very important function in the learning process.

The best person to do this assessment is your child’s healthcare provider. Health assessments are acceptable when done after the last day of 9th grade (June 12, 2020) and before the student begins their first day of 11th grade (September 7, 2021).

Since the start of school in September 2020, several notices have been sent to you reminding you of the need to have the health assessment done and the completed form turned into the school nurse.

The completed health assessment form MUST be turned in to the school nurse at Enfield High School before school begins on September 7, 2021.  Unfortunately, if the health assessment (physical) is not turned in, your child will not be able to start their junior year (11th grade).

If you have already turned the health assessment into the Enfield High nurses, please disregard this notice.

Should you have any questions, please call the Enfield High school nurses at 860-763-8829 or 860-763-8830

Sincerely,

Trisha Vayda RN, BSN, NCSN

Interim Nursing Supervisor 

Enfield Public Schools

PLEASE NOTE: The Enfield Board of Education will provide the assessment required in Grades 6 and 10 to all pupils whose parents/guardians meet the eligibility requirements for free meals under the National School Lunch Program.
