East Lyme Public Schools

District
Education has always been an important focus for the Town of East Lyme. Our first quintessential one room schoolhouse was established in the early 1730's. It was titled "Little Boston" by the surrounding neighborhoods as the quality of education was comparable to the largest city to the north, Boston. In the early 1930's a new, large brick structure was erected and proudly service today as East Lyme's Central Education Office.

Social and Emotional Resources

East Lyme Public Schools understands how important it is to attend to the social and emotional needs that arise during times like these. Social and Emotional Learning offers a powerful means to explore and express our emotions, build relationships, and support each other – children and adults alike – during this challenging time. East Lyme Public Schools has partnered with CASEL CARES.

CASEL CARES is an initiative that connects the SEL community with experts to address how SEL can be most helpful in response to today’s circumstances. We hope the resources below will provide you knowledge in a time of uncertainty.

DCF has added a new resource called "Talk It Out". It is a hotline for parents and caregivers who need someone to listen, to understand, and to talk your feelings out.
