Message from the President
We ARE Union Strong!
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year, North Central colleagues! I know that we have had a difficult spring and summer and an even more challenging beginning of the year. I have heard about the struggles with technology, the worries about reaching all our students, and the fear of contracting this virus. I know some of us are working longer hours to learn and master every platform from Seesaw, Kaltura, Newrow, Canvas, Zoom, and many more.
Some of us are making and delivering meals to our students and families, some have students in front of us in the classroom, some have students in front of us on devices and some of us have both. Some of us feel as if the work is never ending, while those who don't know what we are doing look at us as if we are doing nothing at all. Some of us are worried about having students in front of us and others are worried about NOT having students in front of us or on our buses.
I want you to know that even while our offices are still closed, North Central is still open to all of you. If you need us, reach out. We are all in this together and we will
need each other to make it through this time. We are Union Strong!
Speaking of our Union, it is election season, and I would be remiss if I did not encourage you to get out there and vote. Do your homework, find candidates who you believe in and convince your family and friends to believe in them as well! Then VOTE! The only candidate that I will formerly ask you to support is Chris Reykdal for Superintendent of Public Instruction. I know that some of you may have some misgivings about him and feel as if he has not done as much as he could for our educational issues, but in my opinion, our students and our educators will get more of what we want with him in office than his opponent. So please consider voting for him.
Don't forget to take some time to care for yourself while you are caring for everyone else.
Until next time, my friends.
Standing with you always,
La Vasha
