Updates from our
Head of School
Hello Marblehead Community Charter Families,

This week, I have had the opportunity to attend a virtual conference. While the conference is an educational technology conference, most of the sessions I am attending center around themes of equity, social justice, and the pursuit of schools to become anti-racist. I look forward to continuing the conversation with our faculty who can also integrate these discussions into classrooms with students. It takes all of us to truly make our community stand up as a school where there is no place for hate.

As we approach the closing date for applications to participate in the enrollment lottery for 2021-2022, I am so pleased to share that we have already received over 240 applications to attend our school next year. We have also heard from most of our current students/families and over 90% plan to return for next year. This data points toward our school being on track to return to full enrollment of 230 students for next year. This is very exciting.

Now our attention turns to effectively planning what school will look like in September. We will plan for all possible scenarios, however our main focus will be on implementation of protocols that will allow for all students to return to five, full days of in-person learning starting on the first day of school. This will allow us to get fully back to the project-based learning environment and innovative teaching that are such strengths for our school. We can't wait!

Please enjoy the upcoming vacation week. We strongly encourage you to postpone plans for travel in order to keep our entire community safe and healthy. If you must travel, please be in touch with our school nurse and follow all COVID-19 travel protocols before the return to school.

Peter Cohen, Ed.D
