An hour-long informational meeting will be held on Thursday, October 30, at 7 pm, in the auditorium of Newtown Middle School, 11 Queen Street, to discuss the School Based Health Center set to open in January 2015.

The meeting, according to a press release from the school district, will inform all in attendance what types of service the center will provide, how the staff will work in partnership with the already in place nurses office, and what parents must do so their child can access services from the center.

After hearing several presentations and visiting site locations, the Board of Education unanimously approved in September a grant-funded school-based health clinic for the middle school.

Any parent or community member in need of additional information regarding the meeting can call 203-426-7621.

The evening event is open to all parents and community members.
