East Hartford Public Schools (EHPS) is the priority LEA (Local Education Agency) for this partnership. EHPS serves over 6,300 students and is committed to providing a high-quality learning experience for every child, every day.
In 2023-2024, the CT WSCC Partnership team engaged in focused collaboration with East Hartford’s District WSCC Team and School WSCC Teams to help identify opportunities for strengthening implementation of the WSCC model. We look forward to continuing this work in the 2024-2025 school year!
The CT WSCC Partnership celebrated a productive first year with an eventful site visit from CDC representatives. Stephanie Domain and Melissa Fahrenbruch from the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), observed one of the East Hartford Public Schools professional development sessions led by the UConn team, took part in a schoolwide Wellness Day at the Connecticut IB Academy, and visited Mayberry Elementary School, where they learned about the different resources available to support students, from the school garden to the school-based health center. Read about their visit.
