A Note from Principal Jeannine Carr

 Dear Prospect Hill Families,
Jeannine Carr

I am honored to be writing to you as the new Principal of Prospect Hill Elementary School. I look forward to working with a dynamic staff, dedicated parents and involved community members. Most of all, I look forward to working with the students and continuing to build on the great work at Prospect Hill Elementary School.

Over the past few weeks I have met with Dr. Limato, teachers, parents and members of the administrative team, to ensure a smooth transition for the start of the school year. I can assure you that my goal is to continue building on what everyone has worked so hard to achieve, and to use that foundation to continue to move Prospect Hill forward. I truly believe that our success is dependent on the building of positive relationships with the students, staff and community. Working together, using the expertise of the school community, will support ongoing student achievement for all of our students.

In August, class placement letters will arrive in the mail. Please keep in mind that Dr. Limato worked very closely with teachers to create balanced and inclusive classes. A great deal of thought was put into these placement decisions to provide the best learning environment for each student.

As part of my regular routine once the school year begins, you will find me out and about during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and begin forming relationships with the Prospect Hill community. This summer, I am available to meet with parents and children. I can be reached via email at jcarr@pelhamschools.org. I will be in most of the summer, with the exception of two weeks in July. Feel free to stop by and introduce yourself as my door is always open to you. I wish you all a safe and enjoyable summer.

Sincerely,

Jeannine Carr

  • Two students jump rope in the Prospect Hill gym as part of the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser.

    Fourth and fifth graders at Prospect Hill School worked to raise $9,265 for the American Heart Association through the annual Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser. Each year, the physical education teachers at each elementary school organize the event, in which students collect sponsors and donations before jumping rope to raise funds and awareness. The money that is raised goes to help children with heart-health issues. In addition to the fundraiser, the students develop healthy habits and learn about the value of community service. In total, the four schools combined to raise more than $25,000! View more photos from the event on the District's Facebook page.

  • Dr. Champ Update on 2-27-18 Communication

    Dear Pelham Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

    I’m writing as a follow up to yesterday’s communication. We appreciate that the vagueness of yesterday’s message may have only introduced or heightened anxiety for those members of the community who were unaware of the developing situation. When matters of this nature arise, we are generally unable to provide specific details as they may undermine an investigation or reveal identifiable information about a specific student.

    I want to make clear that the rumor in question was unfounded and reiterate that there was never a threat to our school or danger to our students. I addressed this situation in greater detail at last night’s Board meeting and have included an excerpt from my remarks below that I hope provides some clarity:

    “With regard to the email about rumors at the secondary campus, we always have been and will continue to be limited in what we can share regarding student situations that arise. Today was a perfect example of how fear leads us down a rabbit hole that quickly spins out of control. Students noticed something concerning on social media before the break. They reported it to the school just as they should. . . Unfortunately, students also made some assumptions about what was seen, and in the game of telephone that hasn’t changed since we were kids, they told their friends and they told their friends and things escalated into rumors that were unfounded. Those rumors resurfaced Tuesday and started spreading at the high school to a point that we once again looked into them and reconfirmed that these were baseless rumors. The intent of the email was to convey that these were concerning rumors, we’re aware of them and doing what we need to do, and that everyone is safe.”

    Rest assured that the safety of our schools is our highest priority. We also value clear and effective communication with our community. We must often balance the need to inform with the need to protect student information.

    Please click here to view the full text of my remarks, which includes further information on school safety measures, an upcoming student demonstration, and our residency policy.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Cheryl Champ Ed. D.
    Superintendent of Schools

  • A note from Dr. Champ about the Tragedy in Florida

    Dear Pelham Parents, Staff and Community Members,

    I am writing you with a heavy heart over the tragedy that took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida yesterday. For all of us – parents, students, teachers, and staff – violence in a school, especially the loss of innocent lives, hits far too close to home.

    During this time when media attention is heightened around this most recent school shooting, it is especially important that we help our children make sense of this disturbing act of violence. Please know that our school counselors, psychologists, administrators and principals are all available to support our students and staff. We encourage you to reach out and ask for support.

    The safety of our students and staff is something that I take extremely seriously and something that our staff thinks about on a daily basis. Each instance of school violence gives us pause as we think about how we improve the safety of our buildings and facilities.

    Over the course of today and tomorrow, our middle school and high school administrators and support staff will be meeting with students to review our safety protocols and remind students of the resources available to help support them emotionally.   

    In the coming days and weeks, our elementary principals will review our building protocols with our staff and parents and remind them of the importance of following our safety procedures. As always, our staff is available to address any students’ concerns in a developmentally appropriate way.

    Our District safety and security committee will also meet shortly to review our procedures and discuss ways to make improvements, as necessary.

    Each year we practice a variety of drills, such as lock downs and lock outs, to help us prepare for a day that we pray will never come. Over the past several years, each of our campuses have been equipped with enhanced security features to control who is entering and leaving our buildings at all times and notify those outside of the buildings when an emergency situation is occurring. Our security and facilities team and our administration maintains a close working relationship with our police and fire chiefs in each village and they too practice and prepare for emergency responses routinely and seriously. Together, we strive to make sure our efforts are efficient and coordinated in the event of any emergency.

    Preparation is key to ensuring that our schools are safe and welcoming places for our students and staff. The social-emotional wellness of our students is a core tenet of educational system and that will always be the best preventative measure we can take. We also must be persistent in ensuring that potentially dangerous and violent situations are known before they become tragedies. It sounds simple, but please, if you see something, say something. We will investigate, and we will work to make sure our students are safe – it is our most important function as a school system.

    Finally, the Employee Assistance Program has produced a helpful guide with tips on dealing with the trauma from the tragedy. Click here to review this document.

    Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Please keep the families of Parkland, Florida in your hearts and minds and thank you for your continued support.

    Respectfully,

    Dr. Cheryl Champ, Ed. D.
    Superintendent of Schools
