Kids-

Staying in bed all day is not good for you mentally or physically.

It’s a choice. It’s your health.

You know better.

Move.

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

What communities don’t want to hear from educators...
...pandemic response was not covered in my prep coursework.

We’re better than that.

Watch your words.
Watch your messaging.

We’ve got this.

[YCS Superintendent @YorktownSupt]

eLearning will resume on Tuesday, March 31. Meal distribution for next week will take place on Wednesday, April 1, from 10-1 at door 6 at YHS. School offices will be operated remotely through at least April 3, so email is the best way to reach administrators.

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

At times like these, we are reminded of the critical role schools play in communities.

It’s complex. It’s real.

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

Actions addressing COVID-19 have spotlighted the priorities and strength of schools.

✔️Food Services
✔️Social-Emotional Services
✔️Academics
✔️Community Wellness

So much more than a single letter grade based on standardized tests.

Days seem like wks.
Weeks seem like mths.
Months seem like yrs.

Take care of yourself!

Be purposeful in developing a daily plan and work hard to follow it.

Kids benefit from some degree of planned certainty during this uncertain time.

@EducateIN team is here to help.

Such awesome dedicated teachers @PVElementary @YESYorktown @YorktownMS @YorktownHighSch Thank you to @KaseyOetting for zoom training today. @YorktownSupt

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

Improving education cannot be the ONLY way to tackle poverty & change kids’ lives.

An approach relying solely on education to ‘fix’ complex issues results in an easy target to blame, deflection from necessary & difficult systemic talks, missed opportunity & delayed resources.

Feb 24-28: #PublicSchoolsWeek
I pledge my support for public education & the 50M kids served by our public schs- embracing ability, race, wealth, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity & country of origin.
This pledge strengthens all.

For educators, there are moments our experience is dismissed, disregarded & disrespected by those who have never taught.

As a mom, teacher, principal, asst supt, supt and state supt, I fully understand the power of great educators. Experience should be celebrated not belittled.

“As students take charge in the fight against climate change, they will need stronger and more relevant STEM learning to fuel their activism – and...to create the solutions our planet desperately needs.”

It’s simple...
Hoosier kids can no longer afford to wait until Indiana decides how or if we can afford educators.

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

Legislative session is soon to begin.

Taking care of kids is not about a political party.

Political parties should be about taking care of kids.
