NOTE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
World Class Schools for Our Students:
Thank You
I want to give a huge thank you to all of the NCSD staff members who have been working so hard to meet the needs of students and families while also trying to navigate their own personal challenges brought on by the pandemic this past school year. Our teachers, custodians, food service workers, support staff, district office staff, and district administrators have all stepped up and demonstrated what it means to be a Norwalk Warrior and we couldn't have done it without you!

I would also like to say a final congratulations to our 2021 seniors. This senior class, just like last year's class, faced many challenges and obstacles as we navigated the school year. All of our students were resilient and demonstrated class and grace through it all and we couldn't be more proud. Wishing everyone a well-deserved summer break!

Yours in service,
D.T. Magee

Norwalk Secondary Campus Reorganizes
by Dr. Jody Ratigan

As the 2020-21 school year comes to a close, we are already preparing for the 2021-22 school year! The Norwalk secondary school campus will operate as two attendance centers instead of three beginning in August. Norwalk Middle School will serve students in grades 6-8 and Norwalk High School will serve students in grades 9-12. The Eastview cafeteria and classrooms are still a vital part of our secondary campus. The upper level of Eastview will house high school classes, while the lower level of Eastview will serve middle school students.

As part of the reorganization, the 8th and 9th grade English, math, and social studies teachers previously at Eastview have moved to rooms at the Middle School and High School, respectively. Teachers in the Modern Language department have moved to classrooms in the upper level of Eastview. 

We look forward to serving our students and families in a more strategically aligned system.

Norwalk Athletics and Activities Unveils New Mascot and Brand
After more than a year of community surveys, committee work and refinement, Norwalk Schools is excited to reveal the district's new Warrior mascot and branding!

Below is the new mascot image of a warrior. The image depicts a shield and spears wrapped in battle ribbons which replaces the old warrior spear and feather. These new elements can also be found in a set of symbols that will be used for various applications and needs across our athletic and activities groups.

Strong school branding impacts identity and the engagement of our students and staff. Over the summer, the district will work to update existing signage and various areas of the secondary campus in time for an official fall 2021 launch of the new branding. Coaches and sponsors will be using the new branding to update uniforms and apparel for next year as needed. Local vendors such as Bowen Designs and The Norwalk Shop also have access to the new branding.
