Today we’re celebrating the custodial and facilities staff who help keep our schools clean, safe, ready, and welcoming every single day.
So much of what makes a school run well happens behind the scenes — and your work is a big part of that.
Thank you for the care you put into our spaces, the problems you solve before most people ever see them, and the difference you make for students, staff, and school communities every day.
Happy Custodial & Facilities Staff Appreciation Day!

Hey, October, we’re in the groove now!
The routines are rolling, the leaves are falling, and there are a couple of dates worth circling.
Thanksgiving — October 12
Halloween — October 31
Save the dates.
Stay connected.
Keep showing up for each other.

NO SCHOOL WEDNESDAY !!
No alarm. No bell. No “where’s my pencil?”
September 30 = NO SCHOOL
Take the midweek breather.
Sleep in a little.
Drink the coffee while it’s actually hot.
And enjoy a Wednesday that doesn’t feel very Wednesday-ish.
We’ll see you back in October!

Thursday’s Thoughts
A new school year isn’t just a fresh start for students. There’s always something new for us to discover, try, understand, or get a little better at too.
What’s one thing you’re hoping to learn this year?
Take a moment. Share a thought. Join the conversation.
