GRATITUDE REPORT CHANDLER SCHOOL 2020-2021
MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT
As I reflect upon the 2020-2021 school year, I am grateful and appreciative for our School and community. Thank you to our administration, faculty, staff, parents, students, alumni, parents of alumni and friends for coming together to help Chandler address the urgent needs of this past year and sustain the mission of our School. I am honored to work with dedicated Board members and to witness the lasting legacy of past Trustees. Their guidance, support and stewardship of vital resources have enabled Chandler to stand strong and focus on the priorities of reopening the School for in-person instruction while keeping our community safe. In the fall of 2020, Chandler opened the doors to the Center for Innovation, an interdisciplinary space for collaborative, hands-on teaching and learning. While the space was not used for its intended
purpose in its first year, the Center for Innovation played an essential role in bringing all students back to campus for in-person learning during the 2020-2021 school year. As schools began to reopen in the fall, the guidelines from the state and local health departments required schools to decrease class sizes to help maintain distancing protocols in the classroom. Chandler had to implement three cohorts per grade level in kindergarten to 5th grade, adding six new classes with no new additional classroom spaces. The school converted libraries, science labs, art rooms and the Center for Innovation into classroom spaces. Without the tri-level Center for Innovation, we would not have had the vital spaces for all students to return to campus. Because of your support, the School had the ability to hire the additional teachers and assistants needed for the additional cohorts. We extended the one-to-one laptop program in the Lower School for students in 3rd-5th grades to support the distance learning program. We were able to procure the supplies necessary to send home science labs, art materials and other
instrumental equipment to continue our academic and extracurricular programs for our students. And we were able to reward and retain faculty and staff with salary increases during this past year. I want to personally thank you for your ongoing commitment, for your investment in Chandler’s mission each year through the Annual Fund, Campaign and CFA, and for showing up when Chandler needed it most. YOU made it possible for Chandler to weather the storm and help us to come out intact and strong! On behalf of our Board of Trustees, we sincerely thank you and wish you and your family a healthy, happy and prosperous 2022.
