New Canaan-Back to School 2014
Many thanks to Phil Williams and Jim O’Neill of New Canaan Music for putting together this little ditty on such short notice. Wednesday marks the first day of school, so we headed out to town to catch up with local students to talk about how their summers went and how they’re feeling about the start of a new academic year. What follows is the full text of interim Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bryan Luizzi’s “Welcome to the School Year” note to parents and students. Dear students and parents,
I hope that you and your loved ones are enjoying the remaining days of a wonderful summer. In these last months, faculty, staff and administrators have been busily preparing our facilities, curriculum, and technology departments for a great school year. As the summer begins to wane and opening day approaches, I hope you share our eager anticipation of another year full of exciting opportunities and limitless possibilities.
For the past three years, I have had the honor of serving as the principal of New Canaan High School. This year, as superintendent, I look forward to learning even more about the entire district, K-12, and to working with all stakeholders as we continue the tradition of excellence that has come to define the New Canaan Public Schools. We are very proud of the great work we do each day with our students, and we look forward to even greater things in the future.
The excellence of the New Canaan school system does not exist in isolation or by chance: it is an explicit goal in all that we do.
