@DrLMNelson @srebeducation @DrLMNelson - how I do a see a copy of your presentation from July at SREB? Even the barebones I’d love to tell staff about!

After a long year and as testing season approaches, it's important to remember

[Mel Leonor Barclay @bymellbarclay]

In a letter, 133 Virginia school superintendents chided Youngkin’s education department over its audit that broadly scrapped diversity resources offered by the state. They said the report could “set public education Virginia back many years,” protested not being consulted.

You can be professional AND personal at the same time. In fact, balancing both benefits everyone.

@LearningLinden @StoneSpringHCPS This is amazing!

Each student walking down the hall deserves eye contact and a positive greeting.

This is an easy way to model 'adulting' for our students.

Welcoming students back! We rolled out red carpet for our scholars! 🎉

[Jen Diggs @JenDiggsEdu]

As part of #youthartmonth, HCPS art students created a virtual museum of all their work this school year. I have so missed student art and this is truly an awesome experience. Our students and fine arts teachers rock! @HCPSNews https://t.co/1HHDJpGOMe

Second shot done! Thank you @HCPSNews!

February is oftentimes a hard month for educators. We gotta dig deep. We gotta lift each other up. And we gotta remember why we do what we do. The students need us… more than many of us realize. We’re not just showing up for “work”... we’re showing up for the kids.

My virtual students begged for a reveal party for baby #3. One student made and dropped off at school blue and pink macaroons for me to eat during our session. My other students begged me to pie myself in the face. In an effort to entertain, I did! #babyreveal #virtuallearning

[Jen Diggs @JenDiggsEdu]

It’s only Monday and somehow I’ve already agreed to pie myself in the face during class on Thursday. #relationshipsmatter

Born into slavery, Lucy F. Simms was a pioneering Black educator in the Shenandoah Valley, where she is estimated to have taught more than 1,800 students over a 56-year career. Shortly after her death, a new African-American school in Harrisonburg was named in her honor.

I feel very fortunate that I received my first vaccine today. Thank you @HCPSNews!

[Jen Diggs @JenDiggsEdu]

SKMS folks— materials pick-up for Q3/S2 classes will also occur at this time.

[Jen Diggs @JenDiggsEdu]

Tonight the @HCPSNews school board unanimously voted to bring back preK-2 and 6th grades as of 3/22. This thoughtful process ensures that staff be vaccinated AND there is wait time after the 2nd shot makes me proud of a system that always puts staff, students and safety first.
