Good Evening Beverly School Community,
I want to thank the students, families, teachers, and staff who made our last make-up Saturday a success. As a reminder, the second Saturday session is scheduled for the day after tomorrow and we hope to see you all there!
While we know these make-up days can be challenging and some of us wish not to be in this situation, these are required school days and I encourage all families to continue to make learning a priority as we work to do the best we can for our students.
As we head toward the spring, our schools are focusing on the many things we must accomplish and all the opportunities we have before this school year comes to an end.
Whether it’s mastering mathematical equations and improving reading skills or raising the curtain for theatrical productions and winning athletic championships, we are focused on the work and joy ahead. In our classrooms, around our schools, and around the city, students, educators, and families are doing incredible things; I’m proud of all we are doing together to stay focused on our mission to maximize our students’ growth and achievement.
Throughout our endeavors, the sense of belonging that we prioritize within the Beverly Public Schools for all members is deeply ingrained in our core values. These values, along with our established district goals, remain steadfast and unwavering, regardless of the turmoil and uncertainty that exists outside our classrooms at the state, national, or international level.
In keeping with our values, we want to assure you that the safety, well-being, and rights of every student are always at the forefront and we will always act with kindness and compassion in our actions. When sensitive matters arise that threaten our students’ sense of safety or well-being, we communicate directly with the families impacted and continue to provide the necessary information and resources to our families. As always, our school adjustments counselors are available to provide direct support for our students.
We remain committed to fostering supportive learning environments for all students and staff. We believe that every individual deserves to feel safe, valued, and empowered and remain resolute that all our schools continue to be a safe place for all of our students to learn and our policies reflect our inclusive values.
I look forward to another exciting and important Saturday school day and to sharing all the wonderful things that will happen throughout our district as we celebrate our collective achievements and the success of all of our learners.
Warmly,
Sue Charochak, Ed.D.
