Message from Melissa
You survived the 2019 Chromebook Smokegate.
It has been stressful having the benchmarks interupted and having to revamp your lessons on the fly. But, you did what teachers do ~ adapt to the situation and carry on.
If people really knew all the struggles you face each and every day, they would award you a 1000% pay raise.
We have to look out for each other. The more we can work together the easier our very difficult job will be.
Again, thank you for everything you do!
If you need anything, please let me know.
