Weston Town Hall Happenings for November 3, 2023

From: Town of Weston
November 6, 2023

Greetings and Welcome to Nov 3rd’s Town Hall Happenings!

First Selectwoman’s Opening Note
I was so gratified to see so many members of our community come together this past Wednesday to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to reject hate in all its forms. Throughout our history, Weston has been a community that comes together in times of need, offering support and compassion to our neighbors. Now, as we witness an alarming increase in hate incidents following the recent disturbing terrorist attack by Hamas in Israel, we have come together once again. A recent audit by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has revealed that Antisemitic Incidents Hit The Highest Level Ever Recorded in Connecticut. This deeply troubling trend cannot and will not be tolerated in our town. We want you to know that we are vigilantly monitoring these disturbing trends, and we are working in close collaboration with the ADL, faith leaders, and our dedicated law enforcement agencies to publicly denounce and combat these incidents within our community. In Weston, there is no room for hate, and there is no tolerance for anti-Semitic behavior. Our town has always thrived on the principles of inclusivity, respect, and support for one another. We are proud of our diversity, and we are committed to ensuring that every resident feels safe, valued, and heard. We are stronger when we stand together, and we will overcome these challenges as a united community.

Detour Alert!
This weekend, the CTDOT is replacing the I-95 southbound bridge over Saugatuck Avenue at Exit 17.

Launched this past June, the Town of Weston adopted our sister city Siversk through a relationship with Ukraine Aid International, Inc, which has laid the groundwork to provide support for those severely impacted by the ongoing war in Ukraine.   To date the Sister City has provided: 

- Armored Delivery Van: We have successfully procured and delivered an armored van that will deliver bread, water, and medical supplies to the residents of Siversk.

- Student Retreat for more than 500 Siversk Students dispersed in the region which will provide social and emotional healing as well as a thread and continuity to their classmates. (Underwritten by the Pesco Family)

- Medical Expenses: We are funding on an ongoing basis doctors on the ground who live in Siversk.

Hurlbutt Elementary School - Early Learning Center Program
Hurlbutt Elementary School’s Early Learning Center (ELC) provides services for Weston’s preschool students who have special education needs. Since there are no general education preschool classes in the school district, we have developed an integrated program to include peer models. The ELC is open to Weston Families only. The program runs five days a week, 8:30 am - 1:15 pm, with parents expected to provide transportation. To participate in the ELC, children must be 3 or 4 years old on or before September 1, 2024 and toilet trained. The anticipated cost for the program will be at least $7,315, and the final amount will be shared with families in April 2024. Applications for Hurlbutt Elementary School’s Early Learning Center (ELC) are now available on the Hurlbutt Elementary School website (https://hes.westonps.org/). We are accepting applications from October 26, 2023 through November 8, 2023. In the event that we have more students apply than open slots, a lottery will be conducted on November 10, 2023. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis after the lottery if additional spots remain open in the program. An in-person informational Open House will be held on November 8th at 2:00 pm. Please RSVP to lisavalenzisi@westonps.org if you are interested in attending. If you are interested in having your child participate in the program, complete the application located at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xrrn5L5YDeQyv750IXgnfIdcSNwF6giejpIL43aFkh0/edit#settings.

A Message from WPS Hurlbutt Principal Laura Kaddis Regarding Kindergarten  
Many of you are aware that the State of Connecticut has changed the age requirements for students to enroll in a public school kindergarten. The new law states that students entering kindergarten in the 2024-2025 school year must be 5 years of age by September 1, 2024. For your reference, the change is reflected in Public Act 23-208 section 1(a).  Any child who is not five years old on or before September 1, 2024, but turns five before January 1, 2025, may submit a request in writing to me, Mrs. Laura Kaddis, Principal of Hurlbutt Elementary School, to be considered for early enrollment. Prior to any request, I encourage families to discuss this important transition with their child’s preschool provider. Students who are enrolled in the Hurlbutt Early Learning Center (ELC) who are not 5 years of age on or before September 1, 2024, will remain in the ELC until they are age-eligible for kindergarten. The Weston Board of Education is in the process of reviewing and amending the Ages of Attendance Policy (5112) to reflect the new legislation. As a reminder, Hurlbutt Elementary School opens the kindergarten registration process beginning in January 2024.  Please contact Laura Kaddis directly at laurakaddis@westonps.org if you have questions.

Weston Sustainability Action Plan - Your input matters
Thank you to everyone who already responded to our Sustainable Weston survey and Volunteer Questionnaire. Our most recent outreach effort is a partnership with Housatonic Resource Recovery Authority (HRRA), Curbside Compost, Lachat Town Farm and the High School Green Team to improve recycling and waste collection at Lachat Events. Thanks for taking the time to make a difference in our town. Sent on behalf of the Sustainable Weston Town  Committee https://www.westonct.gov/government/boards-commissions/appointed/select-committee-on-sustainability  Follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sustainable_weston/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SustainableWeston)

HRRA Sustainable Tips for the Holidays

As we move into the holiday season, we want to remind you of a few tips to have a more sustainable holiday!

- Holiday Lights and Electronics:  Remember that broken holiday lights and unwanted electronics can go to our Electronic Waste Collection at the Town of Weston Transfer Station for recycling. REMEMBER: LITHIUM BATTERIES are DANGEROUS. They cause significant fires on waste collection trucks and at recycling facilities. NEVER place these items in your trash or recycling. Bring these items to the E-Waste Collection at the Transfer Station.

- Choose to Reuse:  If you are hosting a gathering with friends and family, opt to use reusable dishes, cups, and utensils.  Reusable items make for a nicer presentation, and they don’t add to your overall trash. Single-use paper plates, cups and plastic utensils are NOT acceptable in the recycling stream, they must go in the trash.

- Recycle Right:  Gift giving is wonderful, but many of our traditional gift wrapping and gift bags are NOT acceptable in our recycling.  Wrapping paper, tissue paper, decorative wraps/ribbons and gift bags belong in the trash. Consider using newspaper or brown packing paper as an alternative.
Contact us: info@hrra.orgwww.hrra.org  203-775-4539

Cans and Bottles Program at the Transfer Station with Weston Booster Club
Are you supporting the town’s Cans + Bottles Program? It’s easy and free. Just bring your 5¢-redeemables up to the Transfer Station (237 Godfrey Rd E) and drop them into the three colorful recycling stations – plastics, aluminum, glass -- on the upper level (no permit required). Every Saturday morning at 9 AM rain or shine, WHS sports teams and members of its Green Team gather at the sorting shed to further sort and bag these redeemables. They are then sent off to be turned into cash ($12,000 per year and growing), recycled and, ultimately, reused. Why support the program? 100% of the proceeds (more than $36,000 over the last three years) are donated to the WHS Booster Club (sports programs) and the Green Team (school sustainability programs). Hundreds of thousands of single-use plastic, aluminum, and glass items are kept out of landfills and repurposed. The program saves the town thousands of dollars in waste-removal fees. And, best of all, it helps hundreds of high schoolers understand the ease, importance, and value of recycling. See you at the Transfer Station. Contact Tom Socha (tomsocha2@gmail.com) or Andrew Bill (andrew@sieramarketing.com) for more information and volunteering opportunities.

Renovation of Davis Hill Bridge
Construction is taking place on Davis Hill Bridge. The bridge will remain open to traffic, with occasional short closures during this renovation & resurfacing project. The construction of this infrastructure project is funded with grants from the State and Federal government.

Police Department Locker Room Renovations
The renovations in the basement of Town Hall continues.  This renovation provides improved locker room space, new heating and air conditioning and updates this existing space. A reconfiguration of the footprint will allow for a more efficient use of the space and is a much anticipated improvement for our Police Department staff. The locker rooms will include dedicated space for women officers and enable us to be more competitive in the recruitment of female police officers. 

Message from the Weston Assessor's Office
The 2023 Revaluation is taking place and inspections have been happening since March 2023. The areas of Town being inspected are posted and updated on our website throughout the entire collection process.  Data Collectors have badges for identification and their cars are registered with the Weston Police Department. They will be taking photos as well as requesting an interior inspection be done at the time of their visit. If a virtual inspection is preferred, a data mailer will follow when an inspection is not granted and the virtual option can be arranged at that time. Please click here for more information. Listen to the podcast about the 2023 revaluation here: https://vimeo.com/807322949
