American Education Week
American Education Week
November 13-19, 2011
NEA's American Education Week (AEW) spotlights the importance of providing every child in America with a quality public education from kindergarten through college, and the need for everyone to do his or her part in making public schools great.
NEA’s annual tagline, Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility, reflects the Association's calling upon America to provide students with quality public schools so that they can grow, prosper, and achieve in the 21st century.
In 2011, the 90th annual American Education Week will take place November 13-19.
On behalf of the USD 493 Board of Education, we would like to thank the entire district in your support for the children, teachers and staff of USD 493. We enjoy working with your children on a daily basis. We feel we have a great group of young people that we have the privilege of working with and helping them achieve the skills necessary to become productive citizens of our society.
As a district we need to celebrate our accomplishments. We are very fortunate to have educators, support staff and a community that care about the children of USD 493. The personnel of USD 493 works extremely hard each day to help children with their academic and extra-curricular endeavors.
We encourage everyone to continue to support the mission of USD 493; in partnership with parents and community we will provide a quality education in a safe environment for all students, preparing them to pursue productive and fulfilling lives.
Again, thank you for supporting the children of USD 493!
