On this special occasion of World Teachers’ Day, I want to take a moment to recognize the vital and irreplaceable role you play in the lives of your students. The work you do goes far beyond academics. You help shape citizenship, nurture future leaders, and inspire care not only for the communities where we live but for the world at large. With every lesson you teach and every moment you dedicate, you leave a piece of your heart. Your commitment ensures that students receive a stellar education, engage in rigorous learning, and grow into thoughtful, responsible individuals. In your hands lie the possibilities for the futures of our students, the strength of our communities, and the health of our democracy. I send you my warmest wishes for continued success in your mission and service. May you continue to excel and make a meaningful, transformative impact through your work, helping to build a better world for all. Thank you for your dedication and passion. With gratitude, Sylvia Esteves Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning
