School District Says June 19 is Last School Day; Adds Meal Locations

The Consolidated School District of New Britain has announced that the, “last day of school for all CSDNB schools will be June 19, 2020.”

June 19th is the same date published by the school district, dated December 27, 2019.

“Due to changes in CDC guidance and continued policy updates from the State Department of Education,” he school district says, “we will no longer be adding days to the end of the planned calendar year.”

The school district also says that, “Graduation is still scheduled for Monday, June 22, 2020, and will not be pushed back,” also the same date previously published.

The school district has also announced addition locations where families can get meals for their kids, saying,

The five original locations will remain constant. In addition, we will be driving to Malikowski Circle and the Mount Pleasant neighborhoods beginning around 11am daily to provide breakfast and lunch. The Whitson’s food truck will also be driving through the various parks in New Britain – including Chesley Park, Walnut Hill Park, and Stanley Quarter Park – at 1:30 in the afternoon to ensure all New Britain students have access to meals.

Schools Superintendent Nancy Sarra has previously said that meals are available at five locations:

• New Britain High School, 110 Mill Street
• Pulaski Middle School, 757 Farmington Avenue
• Smalley Elementary School, 175 West Street
• Smith Elementary School, 142 Rutherford Street
• Food Truck at A.W. Stanley Park, Stanley Street

Sarra had added that, “Meal Distribution Center hours are Monday – Friday: 8:30a.m.-10:00 a.m. AND 11:30-1:00. The expectation is that you bring your child with you for their meals. You may obtain both meals during each of the open hours so that you do not have to come twice per day.”

The school district says that, “If you know of a particular neighborhood that is in need that we may have overlooked, please email Jeff Taddeo, Director of Whitsons food services at [email protected].”
