This week’s theme is “Transition.” As we return to the classroom, we will be transitioning into a new educational setting with more students attending on a daily basis. Throughout this school year, we have had to adjust how and what we teach, coach, and provide unique opportunities for our students to be successful. Our school took activities that usually happen in the fall, like football, volleyball, soccer, field hockey, and other activities usually provided at the beginning of the school year and provided these opportunities now. This transition is allowing our students to participate in some normalcy and to become more involved.
Now that we are preparing for more of our students to be learning in-person. Each one of you should be proud of how you have navigated through this unprecedented school year and continue to transition through these times knowing that the transitions may not be perfect, but you will make each transition successful for all your students. Transitions aren’t always easy, but the more prepared and confident you are, the smoother the transition will be. So trust that you are prepared and capable of making the transition as smooth as possible and that everything will work out in the end.
