Faculty and staff at Ziegler Elementary in Northeast Philadelphia held a celebration to mark their return.Teachers across the School District of Philadelphia are returning to the classroom Tuesday as they prepare for the upcoming school year.
Faculty and staff at Ziegler Elementary in Northeast Philadelphia held a celebration to mark their return."You have to pretty much outperform other schools in the state on academic goals and benchmarks," said Ziegler principal Nicole Patterson."This year we're doing community building and we're finding joy in our communities," Patterson said.
This year all students and staff in the school district will have to mask up for the first 10 days of school. "Just to make sure that COVID is not spreading around, so I think that's a good decision to start the year off wearing masks," Shaw said. When it comes to teacher vacancies in the classroom, officials said the Philadelphia School District is nearly 98% staffed and that Ziegler is at 100%."Just because they leave at the end of June doesn't mean that you leave those students. I still have students that I'm close to that I had when they were 6-years-old and now they're 25," Shaw said.Students in the School District of Philadelphia will be returning to the classroom on Monday.
Teachers went home for over 2 years and refused to work and then had to be drug back kicking and screaming to do their jobs,,,, not heroes.. A lot of us aren't in the mood to forgive and forget..
