We Invest - We Build - We Create - We Soar
August 9, 2020
I hope you and your family are doing well and are staying safe and healthy while enjoying these last few days of summer vacation. As you are likely aware, the Chatham County Board of Education voted unanimously July 16 for Chatham County Schools to begin the upcoming school year with four weeks of at-home instruction, or remote learning. The board’s decision to go with this option, known as Plan C, means school facilities are closed to students, with remote learning for all students. Board members chose this option in the interest of safety and the well being of students and employees. After the first four weeks of school, board members will reevaluate to determine whether shifting to a less -restrictive option is appropriate.
We know the start of this school year will not look the same as it has in the past. Nonetheless, we encourage you to become a part of our school family and become involved in all we have to offer both students and families. We have a wonderful school community with a caring and dedicated staff who are committed to meeting our school’s mission which is to invest in students and staff by providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment; build lifelong learners who are creative and critical thinkers; and create a culture of excellence based on purposeful teaching, relevant learning, and resilient leadership.
We understand that the transition back to school brings both excitement and anxiety. Please know that we are following all safety guidelines and regulations from the NC Department of Health and Human Services. To learn more about what we are doing please review Lighting the Way Forward, North Carolina’s guidebook for reopening schools and Strong Schools, North Carolina’s public health toolkit.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we prepare to kick off the new school year.
We look forward to SOARING with you!
Mrs. Brady-Andrew
