We know that icy roads, heavy fog, or unexpected snowstorms are nobody’s idea of fun - especially when you’re balancing concern for your students and your own well-being. Your safety is our top priority. You are the ultimate judge of your own safety, and are encouraged to use your best judgment when deciding whether it is safe to report to work during inclement weather. Remember, this applies to current weather conditions, not predictions of what might happen later.

Thanksgiving invites us to pause and reflect on the people and values that sustain us. In our schools, gratitude is woven into the everyday work of supporting students, building caring communities and defending public education. Your dedication, compassion and collective voice make a lasting difference for students, families and colleagues across our communities.
