Today is National Substitute Appreciation Day! Did you know that USD 379 has 57!! active subs? We would literally not run without these dedicated people who sign up sometimes 4-5 days a week to help our kids! These photos are just a few of them in action yesterday.

Most of these individuals are retired teachers who continue to give back. But it doesn't have to include just them! Some details:
Certified subs are paid $120 a day.
Classified (hourly) subs start at $13.40/hr and go up based on degrees and experience.
Long-term subs are paid $155 per day after the 10th consecutive day of subbing.

The fire department was called to Wakefield School at the end of school today because of what appears to be an HVAC issue in the gym. Although it doesn't appear to be serious, no one will be allowed back into the building until the issue is resolved.

When our fantastic teachers are gone, USD 379 is very fortunate to have fantastic subs! One of these is Mrs. Crimmins, who is one of many former 379 teachers who work as a part-time substitute. They are an important part of our team!

Mrs. Crimmins was in Mrs. Ehlers' class teaching students all about Benjamin Franklin. #celebrate379
