I'm hearing from many parents of young children of the heroic work teachers and administrators are doing to make the start of this surreal school year feel special. I'm not surprised. Educators are heroes. And are often left to fix the messes of the rest of society.

You could be the one adult in their life who reminds them of all the possibility they carry inside. You are making a difference, even when you can't see it.

One of the best things we can do for our kids is to encourage curiosity!

Parent’s we’re about a month away from 08/17. As I’ve consistently said, our plan is conditioned on the level of community spread in 08. It may be smart to start having your school age children practice wearing a mask now just in case the data requires a change in our plan.

@NatalieNite Interesting idea!

Gifted children may start to tackle existential questions much earlier than their peers and they may not yet know how to emotionally handle these thoughts. Remind them that it’s okay to talk about what scares or saddens them!

This pandemic has already revealed that:

- schools are so much more than just schools.

- many people now realize how tough it is to be a teacher and that teachers are grossly underpaid.

- teachers are irreplaceable and essential to learning and education.
