A Notice About the New School Year

We at the Diocese of Norwich School Office hope you are enjoying your summer. The diocese has made the decision to open schools for the 2020/2021 school year. The decision was made taking into consideration current information and guidance given to us by the Connecticut State Department of Education. Each of our schools will be taking every reasonable precaution possible to ensure the safety of all students, faculty and staff.

Due to their smaller populations in comparison to most public-school systems, our Catholic schools are uniquely able to implement the recommendations of the Department of Education and the Centers for Disease Control.

Since the beginning of this pandemic, we have witnessed the unwavering dedication of our faculty and staff members as well as the understanding and compassionate support from the families in our communities. We are truly appreciative of their steadfast commitment to each of our schools and their respective missions. 

May God bless and keep you safe and healthy.


Dr. Gail Kingston
Interim Superintendent of Schools
