It is a wondrous time of year to reflect on the past and express gratitude for all of the good fortune in our lives. I am extremely grateful for the magnificent students in Region 14 and the exceptional parents and staff in the district. Every stakeholder is working together to improve learning opportunities for children. I am proud that every decision is made in our students' best interests. Our students are excelling in many areas because of this collaboration.
Region 14 continues to make significant progress on our 5-Year Strategic Plan goals and individual school development goals. Region 14 is ranked in the top 24% of all Connecticut school districts based on the state’s Accountability Index metrics. These metrics include academic performance on state-standardized assessments, student absenteeism rates, physical fitness assessments, arts access, and postsecondary readiness targets. A big congratulations to the students and staff at Bethlehem Elementary School on being named a "School of Distinction" for exemplary student achievement for the second year in a row. This is the fourth year in a row that a school in Region 14 has received this prestigious honor. As Region 14 begins the second half of the 2025-2026 school year, we continue to improve our district curricular programs and educational opportunities for all students.
The district is in the process of revising our elementary and middle school Social Studies curricula to align with state standards. Nonnewaug High School continues to increase its dual college credit course offerings that allow students to save thousands of dollars in tuition costs. Nonnewaug High School now has over 40 dual college credit courses as part of its Program of Studies. Please take the opportunity to connect with Region 14 through our district website, digital app, and social media pages (Facebook/Instagram). In addition, the monthly newsletter highlights the exemplary initiatives that are shared via email and posted to the district website. We are always grateful for our partnerships with parents and community members. I would also like to thank the Region 14 Board of Education for their tireless efforts in supporting the goals of the district. Their support is immeasurable.
