I know that I am not the only one that feels it - it has been a rough week. Changes to our normal routine, tough situations for our students, concerns in the community and nation, etc. piled on top of our normal duties to educate these students. We are also in that long stretch of school before spring break. All I know is that we have to hang in there and try to focus on the positive! There have been several times this week I have been totally overwhelmed by it all and had to do an adjustment to my thinking. It is so easy to get bogged down and lose focus. I am there with you. But I know these things...
-we are here for the right reason - we love and care about each one of these students.
-we will give our best each day to educate and protect them the best we know how.
If we do those two things - I think we can lay our heads down at night peacefully knowing we gave it our all. It is all we can do. We can't make this world perfect and solve all the problems there are out there. But we can control how we act and what we do! I appreciate every one of you for the time and sacrifices you give daily to these students.
As far as the new changes go for safety, I think overall they have went well. There may have to be a few tweaks made - we will give it a few days and go from there. Remember - if you have any suggestions or concerns, I am always here to listen to them.
Good luck to the CCES Academic Team this weekend!
