Gov. Mike Parson: “These kids have got to get back to school.... And if they do get COVID-19, which they will — and they will when they go to school — they’re not going to the hospitals.... They’re going to go home and they’re going to get over it.” buff.ly/2WBb8Ye

The coming school year will be different in many ways, but know Kirksville misses you.

I’m always nervous about school starting until I meet my kids. Then it’s just pure excitement! Can’t wait for Thursday.

We are already at the top of most people's "most hated subject" list. When you are dismissive of math, even in a self-deprecating way, you give students implicit permission to do the same. And you are adding yet another hurdle for us to try and overcome.

We hope you enjoyed the snow as much as some 5th-grade teachers did in breezeway today! #thejrocks #scsdessential #jeffjag

Just as a reminder...

When I’m in a great mood on a Monday morning, waiting on my students to get there too

Happy 1,000th Day of School to our Fifth Graders! You are 1,000 days kinder and smarter! #scsdessential #thejrocks #jeffjag
