Derby schools recognized with Sandy Hook Promise award
DERBY - On Aug. 24, 2015 Derby Public Schools kicked off the school year with a message
that has continued to be a focus every day.
The message is “No One Eats Alone” with activities planned throughout the year in all schools.
Derby Schools want every student and every staff member to pass on the message to ensure our activities are inclusive of every student.
Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway said, “The program's intent is to make sure every student feels included and safe in our schools and that every adult and student is part of the carrying out the message.
In recognition of their efforts Derby Public Schools was recognized with The Sandy Hook Promise “Award of Excellence in recognition of your leadership in protecting students and your community.”
Conway said, “We are thrilled to have received this recognition. It is validating of the efforts of all staff and students to create a culture and climate in which all students feel part of the Team.”
Board Chairman Ken Marcucio said, “Considering the problems we have had in our state and across the nation in many of our schools and communities in recent times, it is very satisfying for our Board, Superintendent, our staff, our students, our parents, and our entire community to get this “Award of Excellence,” especially with the Sandy Hook Promise attached to it.
"No one was left out—everyone was included to get this message out. This has been our number one priority - to be sure we have safe schools and a safe community so students can learn without being afraid of what is going on around them and to be sure that everyone is included and involved in all our programs. Inclusive communities are strong, happy and violence-free.”
Derby Public Schools was selected among 564 schools and youth organizations from 45 states who participated in this program.
