Back when I joined in 2007, this site/forum was the place to be. Multiple folks would respond to threads within a matter of minutes, so feedback...
I don't know how things are in other states, but here in CA--it really pays off in the end to save up sick days.
Hi, everyone! Hope all is well with everyone. I haven’t logged in for several months. Been an interesting school year. We’ve gone from distance...
I hope staff meetings continue to be held via Zoom. I don’t think they will—but one can dream, right? The thing that Covid has normalized is...
I am thankful to be fully vaccinated. I believe my 2nd dose of Moderna was in late March. I’m apprehensive about the day we all go maskless. Too...

We're doing distance learning, but teachers are teaching from their rooms. Anyone with a doctor's note can teach from home. Lots of teachers...
Oh, no. That is not okay. Teachers here are only doing a total 4 hours of live teaching per day. The rest of the time includes office hours,...

On a lighthearted note: I work at a school where 9/10 students come from a Spanish speaking home. A lot of our kindergarten moms seem to be...
We just finished Week #2! I feel just as busy as I am during a regular school year—just a different kind of busy. What keeps me busiest is...
