As we approach the end of another wonderful school year, I’m reminded of just how much we can accomplish when families, educators, and students come together around a shared goal. It's this partnership that truly makes Ledyard special, a place where students don’t just excel academically but thrive within a supportive community.
The final weeks of school always bring excitement, pride, and meaningful celebrations, and this year is no different. We eagerly look forward to honoring our students as they reach significant milestones in their educational journeys:
Juliet W. Long School 5th Grade Promotion: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 AM
Gallup Hill School 5th Grade Promotion: Friday, June 13, at 1:30 PM
Ledyard Middle School 8th Grade Promotion: Thursday, June 12, at 5:00 PM
Ledyard High School Class of 2025 Graduation: Friday, June 13, at 4:00 PM
Each of these events is an opportunity for us to pause, reflect, and celebrate not only our students' dedication and achievements but also the passion of our teachers, the compassion of our staff, and the incredible support of our families. Together, we've built a learning community where students feel they belong, are supported, and are prepared for success.
I encourage you to stay connected, continue partnering with our educators, and remain actively involved in your child's educational experience. Your engagement genuinely makes a lasting difference.
Thank you once again for your ongoing commitment and support. I look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming ceremonies, and I wish all our students and families a joyful conclusion to an exceptional school year.
Go Colonels!
Jay Hartling
Superintendent of Schools
