1️⃣ Feeling constantly overwhelmed or stressed.
2️⃣ Trouble concentrating or focusing on tasks.
3️⃣ Irritability or mood swings.
4️⃣ Changes in appetite or sleep patterns.
5️⃣ Persistent feelings of sadness or anxiety.
6️⃣ Physical symptoms like headaches or stomach aches.
7️⃣ Withdrawal from activities you used to enjoy.

Today, Monday, April 8th, parts of the United States will be treated to a total solar eclipse. While Connecticut won`t be in the path of totality, we`ll still get to witness a partial solar eclipse, with about 90 to 95 percent of the sun obscured by the moon. The partial eclipse will kick off around 2:13 p.m., peak around 3:30 p.m., and gradually fade back to regular daylight around 4:30 p.m.
This event is a rare occurrence and presents a unique learning opportunity, one that will be discussed in classrooms over the coming days. It`s worth noting that this partial eclipse will coincide with dismissal at some of our schools and afterschool activities. Remember, it`s unsafe to observe a partial solar eclipse without proper eye protection such as specialized glasses or filters.
For more information and resources regarding the upcoming solar eclipse, visit the National Weather Service webpage.

Students from the Student Equity Ambassador (SEA) Committee and students from the Black and Latino course offered at Platt Tech were a part of this dynamic student summit where voice and agency matter in collaboration with SERC (State Education Resource Center) at Southern State Connecticut University on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. This day included active, experiential learning, where participants were able to explore the significance of “browndaries” and the intersection of our multiple identities in the world today. Through the lens of resistance and resilience, these students were able to unearth their own identity and engage in sessions that propelled them toward personal success, happiness, and meaningful service to our communities.
Platt Tech Information Technology and NASA HUNCH
In 2018 Platt Tech Information Technology started to compete in the NASA HUNCH program and we have sent finalist 5 times. This year we are proud to send Dominic Martinez, class of 2024, to Houston to demonstrate his ”Environmental Control and Sensor Alarm System” to NASA engineers and astronauts.
The HUNCH mission is to empower and inspire students through a Project Based Learning program where high school students learn 21st century skills and have the opportunity to launch their careers through the participation in the design and fabrication of real world valued products for NASA.
Congratulations to Dominic. #platttechspirit #platttech #platttechstudents #platttechpanthers

Tomorrow is Skills USA State Competition. The students have been working hard getting ready this year. Please encourage them to do their best tomorrow. If you are interested in watching the awards, they will be live streamed.
Here is the link https://youtube.com/live/AEZTXYumJDM?feature=share. The awards will start sometime around 6 pm tomorrow,
Platt tech Electrical seniors have started working at our “sister” school, Stratford aviation school, located in the Sikorsky Memorial Airport.
In the first phase of this job, Platt is looking to change out all the lighting to LED in 3 classrooms, and the paint shop. The paint shop fixtures are “explosion proof fixtures”, where we are changing out the 250 watt Metal Halide fixtures to a 35 watt LED equivalent light output. They are removing the ballasts and wiring the sockets direct.
In the 3 classrooms, we are roughly taking down 21 existing 2 lamp T12 lights, and replacing them with only 9 Led light fixtures. (producing more light then the previous 21) 21 x 80 watts existing to 9 x 40 watts new LED
The electrical consumption will be reduced easily by 50%, and by way more the paint shop. 250watts to 35 watts x 21 fixtures… Do the math on that!
We are also installing new LED Exit and emergency lights.
Thanks to Northeast Electric, Donny Williams (on state contract) for also giving us a $15 rebate per 2x4 LED light fixture for the high efficiency…
