Chelsea Public Schools will be one of the many organizations in the City participating in Chelsea Day this year!

This year marks the 10th annual Turkey Trot to benefit the J. Barry Dwyer Scholarship & Chelsea High XC/Track & Field teams on November 23rd.

Kelly School scholars, parents, and teachers all really rocked their first full week of school!

Students across grade levels are reading and writing a lot -- and, like these 3rd graders, are already working to "bridge" what they're learning in one language of instruction to be able to express it in the other!

Teaching teams (like the 1st grade team!) are working hard to build a strong foundation for high-functioning, high-impact collaboration all year long.

We also had great turnout at our first Family Coffee Hour, when moms, dads, and baby siblings connected with one another and with school leaders and talked about ideas for future coffee-hour topics.

Second graders have been learning about the pyramid of success blocks this week. Many students have already shown their personal best in many different areas!

After construction began in June, the Chelsea High School Cafeteria Renovation and Expansion Project is well on its way! A full update on the status of the project is available online by clicking here. The project is on track to be completed later this fall. It will create a transformative space for students and staff to enjoy!

Support our young parenting/expecting students by donating a few essentials.

COA has had a busy and productive week! We’re proud of all of our students who made effort to attend school and all those finishing classes!

COA Student Ada Martinez celebrates completing her course on Civic Engagement, where she wrote a letter advocating for M7 passes for COA students. Congratulation Ada!

COA students engaged in mini-lessons throughout the week that furthered their learning and allowed them to practice their English and other skills that will help them to succeed in future endeavors.

On Thursday, Khris Ramos became COA’s 6th graduate of the year! Congratulations Khris!!
