Happy World Teachers' Day!

Tue, 4 Oct, 2016

This week, we're celebrating World Teachers' Day! We have more than 5,000 teachers across the District who strive to provide the best learning experiences for our students.

It takes a remarkable person to do what teachers do every day. They bring the curriculum to life, build relationships with their school community and spark a love of learning that helps our students embrace challenges and discover their passions.

To celebrate, we asked the community to tell us about the makings of a great teacher. With the help of some of our students and staff, here's what they had to say in our World Teachers' Day video.

We hope you take a moment this week to show your appreciation by saying thank you to the teachers at your child's school!
