We are so excited to see all our students return to school on Monday, August 30 for the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year!
New school bus routes will be posted on the NPS website by August 27. The K-12 bus pass system that launched last year will be used again. Students will swipe in with their bus pass upon entering the bus. The equipment works in cooperation with the GPS tracking system installed on the buses. There is a digital dashboard, which provides the district with reports of students’ daily attendance on buses. Stay tuned for information on the new parent tracking app that will roll out in September.

Periodic health assessments are required of all students attending Norwalk Public Schools in accordance with Connecticut State law. If the student already had a physical exam and met the requirements, the appropriate BLUE or YELLOW State of Connecticut Health Assessment Record (HAR) should be given directly to the school nurse as soon as possible. Please call your school nurse with any questions about the required health assessments or immunizations. You can access the NPS Nurse Directory by clicking here.
The Connecticut Department of Education has mandated that all schools return to full in-person instruction. No hybrid or remote learning is planned at this time. State requirement remains in place for masks in all school settings and Norwalk has an indoor mask requirement.
