Dear Auburn Families and Staff,
The edition of the Superintendent's Update will be brief. However, given that Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the support you give to the Auburn Public Schools. We are so fortunate to live in a community that supports our work and we appreciate all of you! THANK YOU!
I would also like to express my gratitude for the administrators, teachers, counselors, social workers, nurses, support staff professionals, instructional assistants, ABAs, para professionals, cafeteria staff, custodians and everyone who is a part of the Auburn Public Schools team and have committed themselves to the students of Auburn. THANK YOU!
This week has been particularly challenging given the threatening behavior we have witnessed and that has been shared with you. I have stayed in Auburn for over 14 years because of the sense of community, for the care that folks show to one another both in school and in the greater community, for the empathy and kindness I have seen students show to one another repeatedly, for the care and concern our staff members demonstrate to one another, to our students and to our families. Auburn has been and will always be a special place for me....and I suspect it is that way for many of you too. We must work together to maintain the special, giving, caring supportive qualities that the Auburn community has always demonstrated. Seemingly, we may have bumps in the road, but I look forward to our continued work together to keep all of our kids and staff safe, supported, and accepted and thus, create a community where everyone can succeed.
On behalf of the amazing, Auburn Public Schools Nursing Team, I would ask that you take a moment to review the information they are sharing below.
I wish you all a safe, family filled, friend filled and fun filled Thanksgiving holiday.
Best,
Beth
