Safety at Deer Run

Parking Lot Safety

Please park in marked parking spots. Over the past few weeks, there has been dangerous parking seen. When cars park illegally on school grounds, our families and students are at risk. Children and their adults have needed to jump out of the way of cars driving recklessly in the parking lot. Please be kind to your children's classmates and their adults.

Any spaces with a yellow curb are no parking spots.

Cold Weather

Our classes go outside for recess daily. Please send in your child with a winter coat, hat and gloves daily. If your family needs support, please reach out to Ms. Celi at CHenderson@east-haven.k12.ct.us. We have had many generous donations and would like our students to receive those items.

Deer Run Pre-K Families,

  The State of Connecticut requires all children enrolled in Pre-K to receive a flu shot by December 31, 2025. I recommend scheduling an appointment with his/her pediatrician soon. I prefer to have these flu shots documented prior to the winter school break which begins on December 19, 2025. Unfortunately, without proper documentation, your Pre-K student will be excluded when school resumes 01/05/2026.

You may contact me if you have questions.

Warm Regards,

Karen Riccio, RN
