Today we welcomed our students to the first day of full-day, in-person learning for the 2021-22 school year. Every year, I say the first day of school is the best day of the year. This year, though, I think I meant it even more.
It was wonderful to walk the halls of both schools and to see students excited to see each other, to see their teachers and to see teachers and staff excited to see the buildings full of students again. Even though we have not had a first day like this since 2019, it felt like a normal first day, and I saw all the normal things I usually see on the first day, students filing out of buses, a struggle with an uncooperative locker, brand new backpacks and books, teachers helping students find their classrooms.
The normal things are what made it special. Thank you for all your support to make our first day of school successful.
We are looking forward to a great school year.
