Dear Pelham Parents and Community Members,
Tomorrow evening, we had planned to begin tallying ballots for the annual school budget vote and member election, however this has now been delayed until June 16 -- consistent with the revised deadline for the District to receive absentee ballots by mail. As a reminder, tomorrow, Tuesday, June 9 will be the final day that ballots can be returned in person via the dropbox outside the Main Entrance of PMHS (575 Colonial Avenue) as well as the final day for registered voters to request a new ballot. The dropbox will be available between 9am and 5pm. Please visit the District website for additional information about the vote, including ballot instructions, and feel free to contact District Clerk Millie Bonilla with any questions.
As you likely know, our region is poised to begin Phase 2 under the state's reopening plan tomorrow. This is yet another small, but meaningful milestone as we seek to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and enter into a less restrictive environment. We should all be extremely proud of what has been accomplished and thankful to the incredible efforts of our first responders and frontline healthcare workers, however it is important that we continue to be diligent to ensure that our relative success is lasting. Please continue to take proper precautions when out in public, including wearing a mask/face covering and keeping six feet from others. Together we have made a difference, let's continue to do so.
Please enjoy a pleasant evening.
Sincerely,
Dr. Champ
