Earlier this week, I met Mary Kay Haegg, an early childhood special education teacher at Boyd. She's a sixth-generation teacher.

Thank you for the teachers who raise teachers, who inspire the next generation of educators.

#TeacherAppreciationWeek

Teachers are special, and teachers TEACH specials.

From choir and art to special services and physical education, teachers have so many skills that they teach and share with students. We’re so grateful that #TeamSPS educators invest in our students.

School nurses help keep our students and staff healthy, and we are so thankful these healthcare professionals choose to serve with #TeamSPS 🏥👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

On National School Nurse Day, we celebrate 70 school nurses who help keep students and staff healthy and ready to learn.

Teachers are caring champions for children and their success.

Thank you to the teachers who celebrate and elevate success-ready students every day.
