The first full week of school is in the books!

Thank you all for the energy, care, and hard work you’ve put in to get the year off to such a smooth start.

This week I had some great conversations that reminded me why this work matters so much. A parent told me their 2nd and 6th graders are loving their classes and feel really engaged. Another parent shared that this has been the easiest back-to-school transition their high school student has ever had. At our Alternative Education campus, a student couldn’t wait to show me the artwork they’ve been creating and said they were so happy to be back.

Moments like these are a reminder that while the work we do is hard, it makes a huge difference. You are shaping experiences that ripple out into our schools, our community, and beyond.

Thanks for everything you do. It matters every day!
