Forget everything you know about “Shop Class.” 🛠️🚫

This Thursday on the From Forest to Shore podcast, we’re going behind the scenes of our Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathways. We aren't just talking about textbooks—we’re talking about hospital corners, culinary masterpieces, video game design, and live production.

Join hosts Matt Rivers and Dr. Michelle Eckler as they sit down with Sam Rosenberg and four incredible students who are already building their careers before they even graduate. 🎓✨

You don’t want to miss this one. Trust us, these students are the real deal.

🎧 Dropping Thursday 3/5!

Delayed Opening tomorrow, 2/25.

Dear Stratford Public Schools Families and Staff,

Due to the severity of the storm and the continued hazardous conditions, Stratford Public Schools will also be closed on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

The Department of Public Works requires additional time to safely clear roads, parking lots, and walkways. The storm has resulted in heavy, wet snow and significant ice accumulation following plowing, creating unsafe travel and arrival conditions.

All district schools and offices will be closed for the day.

The safety of our students, staff, and families remains our highest priority. We appreciate the tireless efforts of our DPW crews and first responders as they work to ensure our community is safe.

Please continue to monitor district communications for any additional updates, and take necessary precautions as you travel.

Thank you for your continued understanding and partnership.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE LIVE! 🎙️

"You haven't gotten it... YET."

That one little word changes everything. Today on From Forest to Shore, we are tackling the world of Math! ➗✖️

Join hosts Matt Rivers and Dr. Michelle Eckler as they chat with our amazing math team—Dr. Tehmina Khan, Kathy D'Amico, and Diana DiCenzo. We’re moving past the flashcards and drills to talk about real-life math strategies you can use at home. 🏠

In this episode, we cover:
🛒 How to turn grocery shopping into a fun math lesson.
🧠 Why "fast" math isn't always "good" math.
💡 How to help your child when they are frustrated (without doing the work for them!).
✅ Why getting the wrong answer is often the best way to learn.

Whether you love numbers or dread them, this episode is for you!

We have some news for you: The "Math Gene" is a myth. 🧬🚫

Coming this Thursday on the From Forest to Shore podcast, we are busting the biggest misconceptions about learning math.

Get ready to change your mindset! 🧠✨
