Dear Rippowam Families,

We wish all of our families celebrating Passover and Easter a joyful and meaningful holiday. As we head into spring break, this will be a brief update via remind instead of email. We look forward to welcoming students back to school on Monday, April 13.

If you are in town, please consider attending the public hearing on Wednesday the 8th regarding the proposed school budget for next year. Potential cuts could impact middle school programming, including writing and Project Lead the Way classes. If these courses have positively impacted your child’s experience, we encourage you to sign up to speak.

If you are unable to attend, you can share your input by emailing the Board of Education (BOE@stamfordct.gov), Board of Representatives (BOR@stamfordct.gov), and Board of Finance (BOF@stamfordct.gov).

Time for Public to Speak about Education Budget is Wednesday, April 8th at Rippowam:

The FY27 budget process continues next week with the Joint Board of Finance/Board of Representatives Public Budget Hearing on Wednesday, April 8 at 7 pm at Rippowam Middle School. This is the public’s opportunity to share their comments about the City of Stamford budget, which includes the Board of Education’s proposed budget. The public can sign up to speak in person beginning at 6:15 pm.

Best,

Kristina Colmenares
