Tips in Content Areas
Dear Teachers and Staff,
You continue to amaze and humble me with the work that you’re doing. I am so proud of all of you. I know how much energy and love you are putting into educating our kids. Since this is Teacher Appreciation Week, let me say that I appreciate all of you beyond words. I have similar feelings to yours during this period of social isolation and virtual school. I think the biggest issue to deal with is the ambiguity that surrounds almost everything from getting groceries to taking in the mail. The future is a mystery and then there is the incredible sameness of each day. We all are used to establishing our schedules, going through our day, returning from work, enjoying our families, enjoying activities, sleeping then getting up and starting all over again. Now every day seems the same and for some of us work never stops. Right now, I am reading everything I can get my hands on about how to orchestrate going back to school. It is really a mixed bag of ideas. What I want you to know is that we will consider health and safety first when making our back to school plans. We will continue to be patient, kind and flexible as we figure this out. No one will be forsaken, no matter your issue as we make our plans so don’t worry about that. We will keep you in the loop when plans start to form. Take care and stay safe. Send me an e-mail and invite me to your class if you would like a visitor.
Thanks! Terri
