Help us recognize some of the IT professionals who make it all happen, pictured here:

Thank you to our entire IT team for the patience, problem-solving, and dedication you bring to your work each day. Much of what you do happens behind the scenes, but your impact is felt throughout our schools and offices.

North Tech Firefighting and Law Enforcement students stood side by side this morning in remembrance of the lives of first responders and civilians lost on September 11, 2001. Students marched in uniform, observed a moment of silence, and completed 55 flights of stairs in full gear while carrying weighted bags and the name of a fallen first responder.

Twenty-five years later, these students are preparing for careers built around public safety and service, and today they honored those who came before them.

A well-deserved surprise for an extraordinary educator! 🎉👏

Danielle Willhite, SSD Deaf/Hard of Hearing (DHH) teacher at Parkway Northeast Middle School, was recently surprised with the Edward and Esther Haywood Caring Education Award. Presented by the Charles E. Fleming Legacy Foundation, the award recognizes educators who demonstrate extraordinary care for their students, families, and colleagues.

Nominated by SSD DHH interpreter Jim Walsh, Danielle was recognized for her commitment to building connections and supporting DHH students. For Danielle, the most meaningful part of her work is helping students discover their own potential: “There is something really special about watching students recognize what they are capable of and start believing in themselves.”

Congratulations, Danielle, on this well-deserved recognition! Learn more about the surprise and what this honor means to her: https://www.ssdmo.org/details/~board/headlines-amp-features-special-school-district-of-st-louis-county-358333/post/dhh-teacher-surprised-with-education-award

Today, we celebrate SSD’s physical therapists! 👏

Through their expertise, care, and individualized support, our physical therapists help students build the mobility, strength, and skills they need to participate more fully in learning and their school communities. Their collaboration with educators, families, and school teams helps remove barriers while building greater access, confidence, and independence for students.

Help us recognize some of the physical therapists making a difference across SSD:
• Aimee Bernier, Ladue Schools
• Becca Oschwald, Litzsinger School

Thank you to all of SSD’s physical therapists for the skill, compassion, and dedication you bring to our students each day!
