As we’re stepping away from this 2020-2021 school year, looking back at the road once traveled, we get to reminisce about the amount of chaos that occurred: zoom calls, accidental unmuting, and screen sharing problems. I highly doubt people are going to forget this experience, but are we going to be...

Welcome to June, everybody! Tis the season for rainbows! The weather is warmer, the days are longer, and most importantly . . . it’s Pride Month! And though the festivities and decorations might be a little toned-down this year, Pride definitely won’t be! Just like last year, Pride 2021 will be...

We’ve hit a new milestone: hybrid learning. Personally for me, if someone had told me that we were going to be “hybrid learning” two years ago, I would’ve been a little weirded out. It seems that these unprecedented times have added some new vocabulary to the English language. Screenshare...

On Friday, March 12th, 2021, Gov. Jay Inslee instructed districts to offer at least some in-person instruction to all students by the following month.
