Ceremonies and Observances

 

 

Consistent with the mandate of state law, it is the policy of the East Haddam Board of Education to provide an opportunity at the start of every school day for each student and each teacher to observe a time of silent meditation.

 

The morning opening exercises will include the Pledge of Allegiance. Those students who have religious or conscientious objections may be excused from participating.
