WELCOME BACK!
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year. We are so excited to be welcoming approximately 98% of our learners back to in-person learning! As we begin another year of learning, I am reminded of the adage to “Always focus on how far you’ve come, rather than how far you have left to go.” We, collectively, in our communities, have come so far in managing Covid-19 and in respecting the necessary health measures to keep everyone safe. We would not be here if it were not for our collective effort and we know that we must continue to be diligent to keep our students, staff and communities safe. Thank you for continuing to support self-screening, distancing, masking and reminding your children of the importance of good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette. Collectively, let’s do all we can to maintain in-person learning. The pandemic has taught us many things, one of which is the value of students learning with others and socializing with their peers. We owe it to them to remember how far we’ve come and to make every effort to keep them in school and learning.
Throughout the summer, our school personnel once again worked diligently to ensure that our buildings were clean and organized, that our classrooms/facilities were ready for learning, and that all departments in our organization were ready for operations on September 9th. Several of our schools had renovation projects underway over the summer, and I want to personally say THANK YOU and JOB WELL DONE, team ADSB! Whether you were conducting renovations or awaiting the renewed space, your efforts, patience and understanding were greatly appreciated!
Parents, it is a privilege to work with your children every day. THANK YOU, for your confidence in us and for your partnership. Together, let’s continue to model the effective health and safety practices that have gotten us this far. In ADSB, we are committed to doing all we can to keep our students learning and in school.
Welcome Back … Let’s Learn!
