The New Milford School District is planning to bring students back for in person learning in pre-k through 5th grades during the month of March. Students who wish to continue accessing their education remotely will also be able to do so. The transition will take place with pre-k through 2nd graders returning on March 1st, and then two weeks later, grades 3 through 5 on March 15th. The Friday before each school is to reopen, both cohorts will be remote.  District officials say this will allow teachers and administrators time to collaboratively plan for a safe return for all students and staff.  All reopen dates are subject to change, based upon COVID related factors.  The schools are asking that parents inform them as to whether or not children will be returning to school in person.  Each school has sent out a parent survey to be filled out per child, by the 19th.
