PUTNAM — Putnam School Superintendent Daniel P. Sullivan III announced the “Parent Connect Series” which started Jan. 13. It’s designed to educate families and help them identify resources and strategies they can use to help their children overcome the impact of the pandemic.
The program is through the combined efforts of Putnam, Thompson, Killingly, Plainfield, Brooklyn, and Canterbury public schools.
He said the Parent Connect Series is held via Zoom on the second and fourth Thursday of each month beginning at 6:30 p.m. Each session will run for approximately 30 minutes and begin with a COVID-19 update provided by Dr. Kristen Xeller of Quiet Corner Family Practice in Pomfret. She will be followed by psychologist Dr. Ravit Stein from EASTCONN who will offer a tip / suggestion that can be employed at home to support students and families. The last half of the program will feature a rotating topic and guest to support students of all ages relative to academics, or social emotional learning.

• Ability to use the chat feature to communicate with Dr. Stein and / or Dr. Xeller
• Opportunity for parents to request a future topic / guest
