Information to Start the Week

Information to Start the Week
Dr. Champ

 

Dear Pelham Parents and Community Members,

On Saturday, many of Pelham's youth, community leaders and residents marched down Fifth Avenue and Wolfs Lane for a Pelham United Rally, demanding an end to the systemic racism and prejudice that so many have experienced not just in this country, but within our own community. I am extremely thankful to those who organized this event and were brave enough to share their stories and speak out. Our school district will continue to do our part to help make sure that all Pelham students are comfortable being their authentic selves and feel welcome, respected, and appreciated within our school community.

As a reminder, this Wednesday, June 17 will be the final day for live distance learning sessions. Later this week, we will be sharing additional information about optional learning opportunities that will extend through June 26 as well as additional summer learning resources. While this school year is coming to a close, we are working hard to plan for the fall. If you have not already done so, please take some time to complete the Thoughtexchange survey, which will help inform our planning and decision-making process.

Thank you all for your continued support and please enjoy the week ahead. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Champ
