Health Protocols for Students and Staff
The health and safety of our students, staff and entire school community is our highest priority as we plan for the reopening of school. It is absolutely critical that students and staff who show any signs of illness stay home and not report to school. If you have questions about the health of your child/yourself, or the health of anyone in your family, please contact your school directly and speak with the school nurse or principal. In collaboration with the Central CT Health Department, the following information is provided as guidance for navigating the complexities of COVID-19.

Breakfast and lunch for remote learners is available Monday through Friday, 10:30 AM to noon, at Wethersfield High School. Please use the Jay Street entrance off of Wells Road to access the WHS Community Entrance. An online order form for each student in the household must be completed.
Meals will be charged to the student's meal account based on the school he/she attends and whether he/she qualifies for free or reduced meals. The order form will be available from 3 PM the day prior to 8:30 AM on the morning of the meal service. Please remember to choose whether you would like a pre packaged breakfast with lunch so the student can have breakfast for the next morning. All meals are unitized, meaning they all MUST include a milk, vegetable, and fruit.
