A “Welcome back!” message
from Superintendent Chuck Klaus
I would like to first welcome all families, students and teachers to the 2020-21
school year at Haddonfield School District.
We are now a week away from our return to school for the fall of 2020. It would
certainly be an understatement to say this is a different opening than those we
have experienced in the past.
I am sure all of us could rattle off a litany of differences as well as things
we wish were different! Notably, some of these challenges have required our
administration team and teacher leaders to spend countless summer hours to
develop, revise, publish, and republish our return to school model.
Sometimes I feel as though we have spent the last six months talking about
the changes caused by the “new normal,” but today I’d like to take a moment to
look at how many things are still the same.
As a school district, we continue to uphold our commitment to providing
high-quality education to your children. We maintain high expectations for our
students, teachers, and administrators. We anticipate a year that – in spite of
opening with 50% capacity – will close with all of our students in school all day.
These are our goals, and we believe that a prudent start will help us to achieve
them.
As in every summer, a great deal of focus was placed on growth and
improvement. What may have gotten lost in the shuffle this summer are the
many accomplishments of the last 10 weeks not connected to COVID-19.
Curriculum has been rewritten and revised. HSD continually invests in
improving and modifying curriculum in all areas. Among other revisions, two
main areas of focus are improving the middle school Gifted and Talented
program and adding mandated LGBTQIA+ standards. Additionally, we invested
a great deal of work in designing professional development
Thu to Sat from 4. Sun from 3.
