It's Back to School in Simsbury Today

Good morning. Today is Wednesday, Aug. 28 and here are a few things happening in Simsbury today. 

1. It's a day of joy, relief or angst — depending on your perspective. The big news, of course, is that Simsbury students go back to school today. Send your first day pictures to john.fitts@patch.com!

2. Utility construction on Wolcott Road, near the sewer pump station (just north of the transfer station drive), is slated to begin today. Alternating one-way traffic will be maintained during construction. Alternative travel routes are suggested.  Work is expected to be completed within 3 working days. See more here. 

3. It's partly sunny with a chance of showers today. 

4. The VNA is offering a free blood pressure screening today.
