We are so excited to welcome back our students today for the 2021-2022 school year. Happy 1st Day of School to all of our students and staff.
Tonight, as you put your children to bed and wish them well with good vibes, I challenge you to also send positive vibes to:
Administration- who probably won’t sleep tonight wondering what they have forgotten to do
Secretaries- who will likely be still working late into the night making sure everything is ready for everyone
Teachers- who definitely won’t sleep tonight and are likely still at work putting the last minute touches on their classrooms
Cooks- who are excited to do what they do best and make the kids smile though food
Counselors- who have worked tirelessly creating schedules and setting up meetings and tours to make everyone feel welcome
Maintenance Staff - who have worked all summer to clean the buildings and make them look presentable
Paras and support staff- who are likely just as nervous about the first day of school as the kids and likely will not sleep either
Bus drivers- who will be going over their route in their sleep tonight hoping they don’t forget anyone on the first day
Nurse- who has been sorting through data to know who can and can’t have Benadryl and keeping up with immunization records
It takes a village. Everyone does their part to make sure your student has the best first day ever. And most of it you’ll never see. It’s the sleepless nights, the worrying, the planning and then re-planning of lesson plans. It’s the “I think I have all the schedules complete and printed and then have to do them again because a change had to be made.”
We do it for the kids. I work with the most selfless, passionate, creative people ever and this is the only way I could think of to give you a little glimpse into our world.
Thank you to all of the Republic County USD 109 Employees and Cheers to a Great School Year!
