Connecting with neighbors

WOODSTOCK — Woodstock Academy and its Board of Trustees are focusing on building  and maintaining  relationships  with its neighbors this year. The academy will host forums to discuss and address any issues, questions or concerns. “We hope to host bi- annual meetings with our neighbors moving forward as a way to come together,  discuss issues and build partnerships with our community,” said Headmaster Christopher Sandford. “An open line of communication and strong relationships are key components and commitments of the Board of Trustees’ strategic plan.”

Recently the academy’s Buildings and Grounds Committee held the first meeting to discuss the public address (P.A.) system. The committee collected  feedback  on the use of the P.A. system at the turf field in Bentley Athletic Complex. In response to concerns raised by neighbors, Woodstock Academy hired a new sound technician, removed the old P.A. system, and built a limiter for the sound system to help control noise. “We are hopeful that these changes have made a significant, noticeable difference for our neighbors,” said Robert Blackmer, chairman of the Woodstock Academy Buildings and Grounds Committee. “We feel that these changes, and a few more, will continue to demonstrate that we take our neighbors’ concerns seriously and are willing to work with them for the betterment of the Historic District.” For more information  call  the Headmaster’s office at (860) 963-6592 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
