Schools are a Constant

After a long hiatus, the weekly communication is back. During my time out, I had plenty of time for reflection and I kept coming back to one thing:  Schools are a constant.  When schools closed, we had chaos.  Parents had to figure out what to do about their work schedules. Kids had to figure out what to do with their spare time because activities were gone.  The disruption in society was and continues to be, significant.  Therefore, my thoughts kept returning to the idea that schools are one of the few constants we have in life. Just to define it further, I am not talking about the building or even the curriculum, but the people.  We are in the people business, therefore the people in the business are what matter the most. When it comes to schools, the people are what make the difference.  The people rise up every day for the students. Before COVID, teachers would rather come to school a bit under the weather than create a sub-plan, because it is easier and better for the students.  Though post-COVID is different, the desire to rise up is present. We all know the rubber meets the road in the classroom and I am comfortable with the idea that our staff will rise up daily to meet that challenge. Have a most excellent weekend...Go PUPS!

Until next time...
