Travel
If you are traveling the Darien School District is encouraging all travelers to follow the CDC and CT DPH travel guidelines and recommendations for Domestic and International travel. The CDC continues to advise that travel increases your chances of getting and spreading COVID-19. After travel (and always) stay home if you are sick or if you have been in contact with someone with COVID-19. A COVID-19 test and/or quarantine after travel is recommended to keep all healthy and safe.
- Vision screenings have been completed and referrals sent home if needed. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Any student who did not pass their initial hearing screening will be screened again this week and referrals will be sent home after. Per CT state statues, 2nd graders do not undergo vision/hearing screening in school. Of course if you have a concern for your 2nd graders vision/hearing please contact me!
- Spring sports = spring injuries! Please remember to call or email me with any new injury (stitches, braces, casts or splints). Make sure you are asking your doctor for a note for Nurse Lisa stating any restrictions! Field Day is coming up!! If your student has an injury I do need a doctor’s clearance note for them to be cleared to participate in PE/recess and Field Day! Call me with any questions!
- New diagnoses? New medication? Health concern? Let me know so that we can work together!
- Postural Screening (Scoliosis) will be done for all 5th grade girls at the end of May. More information to follow!

Don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions, concerns!
Thank you!
