Dear Berkley Public Schools Students, Parents, Staff Members, and Community Members,
We are so happy to have students back in the classroom. The school year is off to a great start. As I have walked around classrooms, I have seen our teachers engage our students in cooperative and collaborative learning activities that have shed many of the restrictions that we saw last school year with COVID-19. Please continue to reference our Opening Plan as it is updated regularly as we receive guidance from state agencies.
The start of the 2021-2022 school year brough not only the return to full in-person learning following nineteen month of remote and/or hybrid education but also the entry of a new Superintendent. My entry into the district needs to balance listening and learning about Berkley Public Schools while also moving forward with the recovery and acceleration work needed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This Entry Plan will outline my intentional leadership actions to learn more about Berkley Public Schools. Over the next several months keep an eye out for focus group, interview, and survey opportunities. I encourage every member of our school community to share your experiences with me with best intentions to help our school district grow and improve. I look forward to learning more about our amazing school district.
Sincerely,
Melissa Ryan
Superintendent of Berkley Public Schools
