May Cornerstone: Learning and Literacy
Celebrating the Work of Teachers and School Support Staff
Next week, communities across America will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week.
Here in D93, we take this time to recognize and thank everyone who makes learning and teaching possible for the thousands of students we serve.
💬 “I truly believe our promise to design success for every student is what makes a lasting difference. But we cannot live up to that promise without the tireless work each of our teachers and support staff members do—every single day.”
From feeding children and and making sure our classrooms are clean, well lit places . . .
To providing safe transportation, reliable technology, and secure learning environments . . .
To managing payroll, paying bills, and handling hundreds of other daily responsibilities . . .
Their work—often done quietly and behind the scenes—is essential. It allows our teachers to teach, our students to learn, and our schools to thrive.
Next week, I hope that you will join with me in making sure that our teachers and support staff know—and truly feel—that what they do matters.
Fueling Success: April 28 Collaboration Day Celebrates Commitment to Learning
We want to give a big shoutout to our amazing teachers and instructional staff for their participation in last Monday’s district-wide professional collaboration and learning day. It was inspiring to be alongside them as they shared ideas, built on best practices, and focused on what matters most—student success.
Thanks to their dedication and the collaborative work they engage in every week, we’re seeing real progress across our district. Their commitment to growing as educators is making a lasting impact on the learning and lives of our students.
