Hello Everyone!
The community is very excited about the Mount Tom year-end picnic on Thursday 5/23. Mount Tom is a State Park (https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/State-Parks/Parks/Mount-Tom-State-Park) and all students, staff, and family members are welcome to attend. While there will be EWoW staff on site for the picnic, your children will need to, as always, be responsible for their own behavior and safety, will need to follow the rules of the park, and will NOT be under adult supervision while there. There is a beach at the site and we are happy to say that Jaz Liotta is a certified lifeguard and will be overseeing water safety. We cannot stress enough that water activities are inherently dangerous so if your child does not follow instructions, they will be asked to exit the water.
We require permission from parents for three things:
1) General permission for your child to attend the picnic.
2) Transportation permissions.
3) Water-related activity permissions.
If you plan to attend the picnic yourselves, then we will presume that you will also be responsible for your child's safety, of course.
