Back to School: Planting Seeds for a Positive Year

Back to school time: usually a time of excitement and even a bit of nervousness.

But for the second year in a row, it has been overshadowed by uncertainty and frustration.

With the ever-evolving ebbs and flows of this pandemic, our students, teachers, and administrators are gearing up for what’s sure to be another memorable school year.

So how do you go into this new school year with a new mindset?

As we all know, it takes a little dirt to grow in life, and you — our nation’s K-12 educators — are like expert gardeners! You have adapted and overcome all of the challenges and changes over the past year to provide the best student learning experience possible.

And unlike the previous year’s start of school, you now have some experience under your belt with running classrooms during a time of COVID-19. All of the blood, sweat, and tears you’ve endured have made you stronger, more prepared to tackle the new school year. 

Has anyone told you lately that you’re doing a great job?

We know it’s been hard. But, we also know that you are doing the absolute best job you can. So from our SchoolMint family to you, our nation’s invaluable educators, thank you! You are doing a great job.

We support you on this journey to create positive classrooms for students across the country, no matter the circumstances.

So, with that in mind, we’ve compiled these seven resources to assist you in putting on your positive thinking cap in preparation for the new school year.
