@CoachTrentWitz Have a great year, Miss Emma! I thought of you the other day on your birthday since we have the same one! I hope it was a great day! 🎈 You look like you grew so much this summer. Tell all of the ST kids I say hello!

My babygirl got her first day in school. Excited to start 2nd grade.

Teachers are the Worst... at self care! But, taking time for yourself can remind you and others that your needs are important, too! It also shows others that you value yourself! If you don't value yourself, others won't either.

@JK_McMahon Between managing my own classroom and my 2 girls and their classrooms... I’m holding on by a thread! 😬

History made today with our IGH Fire Department...first time having an all-female crew working together in the departments 63-year-history!

The District 196 School Board has approved a resolution adopting the 2020-21 Flexible Learning Plan, affirming plans to begin the year in a hybrid scenario. Read the formal resolution: bit.ly/3kxChWn View the 2020-21 Flexible Learning Plan: bit.ly/31HoWC7

Admin, teachers, and staff, I know you will give your best for your students this year, but make sure those that are important to you also get the best of you; not just what’s left of you.

First year teaching is always the toughest. Mainly because they are trying to survive the unplanned/unexpected/unknown. This year will in essence be like the first year for seasoned veterans,administrators & all staff. So let’s remember: Relationships Grace Patience Love

@FixingEducation Thank you!

As schools open this fall: 🔘Some kids will be socially overstimulated 🔘Some kids will struggle w/ increased academic demands 🔘Many kids will need to adjust sleep patterns We *must* begin to focus on #adultSEL & #selfcare now so that we are able to support every student child
