Happy Last Monday Morning of this School Year!
We all made it! It’s the last week of the 2022-2023 School Year!
Here is the link to our last Monday Message.
Enjoy making end of the school year memories with your students this week, SEA.
Take care everyone and enjoy your summer vacations!
Happy Monday SEA!
Today is our final SEA Building Rep meeting of the year. Reps, please send at least one rep in person to the PLC at 3:30 PM. Anyone is welcome to attend! If you would like to attend virtually, email me by 3 PM for the link to join.
Starting tomorrow we will be collecting donations to the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education. Your building reps will find out more about this at our meeting today.
I have attached a copy of SEA’s 2022-2028 Contract for you. It will not be posted on the district website until later this summer when our current contract expires. You will be able to access it in our SEA Shared Drive and our SEA’s Website.
Just a few highlights from this week’s May 16 Edition of the Monday Message:
Good morning SEA!
After today, just two more Monday morning wake-ups this school year! So many exciting events going on across the district these last few weeks.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week, SEA!
Not only we have made it to the month of may, but we have made it to the week in which educators are recognized and celebrated for their work. Thank you for the endless hours you put into planning. Thank you for the consistent support you give to your students. Thank you for persevering through each and every challenge you face as an educator. THANK YOU!
Here is the link to this week’s Monday Message and a few highlights and important links:
Good morning, SEA!
Sure was nice to finally enjoy all that spring weather this past weekend, rain and all! It was a busy weekend for SEA and members of Region 35 as we had our annual SPARKS event for early career educators from our membership. What a way to start of the event with some axe throwing at Bulls-eye Axe Lounge. What a great way to release some tension! This week’s Monday Message has just a few photos from SPARKS as well as last week’s General Meeting. Thank you to all of our attendees who joined us for those events!
In this week’s Monday Message, not only will you find those highlights but you will also find information about the open positions on our 2022-2023 SEA Executive Board. Currently the open positions are: dual/bilingual services liaison, special services liaison, elementary instructional services liaison, early childhood liaison, and webmaster. Please take a moment to read through the descriptions to see if if is something you would like to get involved in. Here is a link to a google form for you to fill out in order to apply for the appointment to any of those positions.
That is it for now. It was nice to start listing important dates for May which means we are starting to wrap things up for this 2021-2022 School Year. Have a great week everyone!
