Winter 2019
During the holiday season, we often reflect on the past year
and the people and events that shaped its course. It is a time for many to
celebrate our accomplishments and a time to give thanks. At Ledyard Public
Schools, we have a lot for which to be thankful.
Following three years of major construction, Gallup Hill and
Ledyard Middle Schools are now transformed into state-of-the-art facilities. We
continue to adjust and work through the dynamics of these new and much larger
facilities and student populations. Our elementary schools continue their work
around early literacy and building our students' love of reading. Ledyard High
School, after a long and rigorous accreditation process, has been officially
reaccredited. The Ledyard Transition Academy is thriving with students working
in local businesses and developing important life skills. Ledyard students have
made great strides in academics, sports, and the performing arts, for which the
entire community can be proud.
The district has welcomed many new teachers, administrators,
and staff who bring a wealth of knowledge and new ideas to Ledyard Public
Schools and we are continually grateful for the support and volunteer
commitment from our Ledyard Public School families.
I wish you the very best this holiday season.
Jason S. Hartling
Superintendent of Schools
