WATERFORD, CT The Office of the Superintendent of Waterford Public Schools is announcing open registration for children entering Kindergarten in the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. Parents are requested to pick up registration forms starting the week of February 1, 2021. Documentation required for Kindergarten registration includes:
Child s Birth Certificate - Connecticut law requires public schools to be open to all children who reach the age of 5 on or before the first of January of any school year. [C.G.S. Sec. 10-15c]
Physical Examination Form - completed and signed by the child s doctor, dated within 12 months of the date of entry into school.
As the state works toward a goal of recruiting more teachers of color, several local districts, including Groton, Ledyard, Norwich, and Waterford, plan to participate in a program aimed at diversifying the teacher workforce in southeastern Connecticut.
The 18-month Teacher Residency Program provides “an alternate route to elementary certification focused on increasing teachers of color across the state of Connecticut,” according to a program description. Resident candidates will work in a school setting, earning a salary and benefits, while pursuing coursework to become certified as a teacher, Ryan Donlon, LEARN’s associate executive director, said in a phone interview.
Applications from potential candidates, who must have a bachelor s degree and “demonstrate a strong commitment to children,” are due March 5, according to LEARN.

Two of the individuals from the high school were last in the building on Dec. 11, and one was last there on Dec. 3. The person connected to the elementary school was last in the building on Monday.
“After reassessing the situation at Waterford High School, we have decided to remain in remote learning at Waterford High School through December 23rd due to staffing reasons,” Giard’s notice reads. “All other Waterford Public Schools will remain open in the hybrid model.”
