SOUTHWICK – As the first day of school for the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District is Sept. 1, there are only a small number of days for teachers and staff to get ready for the school year.

The event starts at 8 a.m. And Superintendent Jen Willard will greet teachers and staff in the district. Willard said the main point to the whole event is to “get them excited about the school year.”
With the morning greeting over with, the teachers and staff will then go to the next phase of the day.
“That will start the day and then they’ll go back to their buildings and the principals will meet with them,” said Willard.
The principals will go over back to school information, including basic things like scheduling and busing times.
“Then we’ll all reconvene at the regional school for lunch,” said Willard.
Lunch will begin around 11 a.m. where the central school office staff, school committee, and administrators will cook lunch for the teachers and staff.
Willard is looking forward to the welcome day as she said she is “so excited, can’t wait”.
