Western High & Middle Schools will be online until Thursday, November 5th. WHS/WMS will be dismissed at 10 am today! The elementary schools & WCPHS will continue without interruption at this time.
We need kind, intelligent people who care about children to become teachers. It is still a noble profession!!

The job of governing our great state can happen when both parties work together! Thank You Rep @LeeChatfield, Sen @SenMikeShirkey, Gov @GovWhitmer and all the legislators who got this done.
🚨 @GovWhitmer has signed SB 1108 authorizing virtual meetings. Members, check you email for details. Big thanks to lawmakers for making this a priority and Sen @LanaTheis for sponsoring this important piece of legislation. #MASAGov #MichEd #MILeg

This is pure wisdom and a lofty dream/ambition! I like it A Lot!!
I'd love to live in a world where people spend as much time developing their character as they do developing their careers.
What if our moral codes were as clear as our ambitions?
Goals without values are empty. Here's to leading an honorable life, not just a successful one.

Email etiquette for emailing a teacher, but is applicable to emailing most people. Let’s bring back a little kindness. We all could show a little more grace.
This is good news for school districts who were anticipating drastic cuts, laying off employees, asking for concessions and still trying to teach our students in an unique time. Let’s get the K-12 budget signed!! #onelessworry

Excited to get our student athletes competing again! PLAY BALL!!! mlive.com/highschoolsports/2…
With sophisticated leadership, we must be able to admit mistakes. apologize and correct the mistake in order to move on. We must humbly service!
"The more complex society gets, the more sophisticated leadership must become." - @MichaelFullan1 Superintendents are leading in pretty messy conditions right now. Keep your vision for student learning as your purpose in each decision and allow that vision to define your model.

Great Wisdom!
Word of the day in 5th grade is "patience" It is a learning process for students, care givers, teachers and administrators. It is important to remember we are all trying and learning as we go. #patience #mccardinals
