LSA Summer Newsletter - August 10, 2021
Dear Linden Families,
I have had the opportunity to meet and welcome our new district leaders to Malden Public Schools and the Linden community. Superintendent Noriega-Murphy, Assistant Superintendent Laryssa Doherty, Assistant Superintendent Emilys Pena, and Director of Literacy and Title I, Victoria Mulkern have visited Linden and shared their visions for the district. We are looking forward to working with them throughout the year.
I am sure that you have many questions on what health and safety guidelines will be in place for the upcoming school year. The district administrators are in regular communication with our local public health officials and our nursing department to assess our current status and develop plans to ensure a strong year ahead based on current guidance and we will adjust as necessary. The health and safety of our students and community will guide all decisions that we make.
Please make sure to check the Principal's Corner for announcements and resources. I would like to remind you to join the LSA Class Dojo to receive our school notifications. Ms. Scott recently sent an email to families with the link to join https://www.classdojo.com/invite/?c=CLE93VJ.
Please reach out to Ms. Jones (jjones@maldenps.org), Ms. Scott (sscott@maldenps.org), or Mr. Garcia (rgarcia@maldenps.org) if you have any questions or concerns. We would be happy to help you.
Thank you and enjoy the rest of your summer!
Mr. Garcia
