Dear Chelsea Public Schools Community!
To the Editor, Ê
We made it! The 2020-2021 school year has finally come to an end. I just want to take a moment to say thank you to our staff.
It is difficult to capture in words how amazingly resilient you were this year given the extraordinary and often impossible conditions we met in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. You did what you had to do to keep students at the center and serve each of them and their families in order to continue their learning, growth, and development.
Unquestionably, we made it through many obstacles this past year. We leaned into remote learning and reopened all our schools despite being the hardest hit community in the Commonwealth. I am so proud to stand with you as we worked together to confront the challenges which will be recorded by historians as the most difficult ever endured in public education. You stayed focused on teaching and learning and kept relentless love in your hearts for our students and families.
As we end the year, I hope you will take time to reflect, renew and rest. We are stronger and ready for anything that comes our way.
I am truly blessed to work with each of you. I wish you much peace and happiness this summer!
Supt. Almi G. Abeyta
