High School Students and Families,
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! As you know, the staff at ERA is absolutely amazing. They have risen to the occasion under the most difficult circumstances. They are dedicated to our students and supportive of each other.
Almost overnight in March of 2020, they changed everything they knew as normal to be a teacher during a worldwide pandemic. Then in March 2021, they put aside their personal fears and walked into the unknown of their classroom and into their offices because they love their job and are dedicated to serving children. We all know and/or have met many heroes over the last year, but these educators are my heroes. So if you see an educator this week share a smile and a thank you. You will make their day!
Please see below for the latest and greatest updates from the high school world. You can also access this message in the ERA HS Parent Resource Folder.
