New Fairfield students will return to in person learning soon.  In a letter to families, Superintendent Pat Cosentino said that pre-school through fifth-grade students will attend school in person full-time beginning Monday.  Students in grades 6-12 will be on a hybrid schedule through December 23rd.  The cohorts will alternate in-person schooling on Wednesdays.  The district moved to remote learning when, like many others in the area, they ran into staffing shortages due to teacher quarantines.  New Fairfield parents can opt to remain in distance learning through the New Year, but need to contact the nurse or principal at their child’s school.
