Next week, the week of 11-17 November, is being observed as American Education Week. This observance, which dates back to 1921, was initiated to honor the efforts of students to learn; to recognize the professionalism and dedication of teachers, support staff and other educators; to thank parents and members of the community who help students succeed; and to rededicate the community at large to quality public education for every student.
Individual daily observances of American Education Week include:
- Invite Parents to School Day (Tuesday)
- Education Support Professionals Day (Wednesday),
- Educator for a Day Day (Thursday), and
- Substitute Educators Day (Friday).
