Hello and a resounding \u201cwelcome back\u201d to all you wonderful returning teachers!<\/span><\/p>\n

Going back to school after summer break is exciting AND stressful, both for students and teachers. In a recent survey asking teachers how they feel about the first day of school, they responded:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnxious about all of the unknowns the upcoming school year will bring, but excited to get to know the students and implement new ideas that the previous year birthed.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n
