Does anyone know a Data Analyst looking for something new? We are looking to hire a Data & Systems Integration Analyst. In-person remote or hybrid are all options. More information can be found on our website, or contact me for more details.

I know there are sub shortages but teachers need the freedom to take the personal days they've earned. It's not their job to own a systemic failure. If they have to do extra coverage for others, it's not selfish to say, "I need a day to step away and recover for a moment."

Don’t watch the Trump Town Hall tomorrow on NBC. Catch the highlights later. Don’t give Trump a ratings win. Pass it on.

I seriously don't get people who are like, "No pets allowed in Zoom."
If my students have a pet and it doesn't make an appearance, I'm marking it as absent so it has to come see me during lunch.

Remote instructional schedules SHOULD NOT adhere to brick&mortar schedules
Teachers & students SHOULD NOT be required to sit in front of a computer for 6 hrs
Solution: Modified shorter remote instructional time blocks Learning can occur through asynchronous/unplugged activities

A few months ago some of you were hailing teachers as saints after you had to homeschool your own children. Now you want to toss those “saviors” back into schools as COVID cases continue to rise. So which is it? Deserving of a raise and respect or merely expendable?

A3: We have ordered 1500 hotspots but have only received 600 so far. We estimate that at least 2500 of our students do not have home internet access. This is a national issue. Remote learning requires broadband access for ALL. #ConnectKidsNow #suptchat

Are you a first responder or healthcare worker who needs childcare? If so, Peninsula School District can help you. Based on Governor Inslee's directive, we are partnering with the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties to provide childcare. For more info: ow.ly/PfNf50yPrOr
So thankful for my team. Can’t wait to see what next week holds.

This. I don’t wonder, I know.
#ThoughtForTheDay I wonder if it’s time to go away from “sick days” & allow edu’s to have personal days w/o explanation? Part of being treated like a professional is respecting when we need a mental health day(s) to regroup to be better for our students & colleagues. #Culturize
