March has come marching in!
It is time to transition from Winter into Spring.
It is time to Spring Forward into Daylight Savings Time.
It is time for Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, and Lent.
It is time for Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day.
It is time for March Madness and, of course, Baseball.
We are 3 months away from the end of the school year.
We are preparing students for testing and assessment.
We are doing all we can to help students learn.
We are collaborating and sharing best practices.
We are getting ready to graduate the Class of 2019.
It is time. We are ready.
It is time. We are prepared.
It is time. We are learning.
It is time. We are studying.
It is time. We are teaching.

The month of February has been memorable.
To summarize:
It began with the Super Bowl where the Philadelphia Eagles prevailed over the New England Patriots.
Then it was followed by Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday thus marking the beginning of Lent.
Afterwards Presidents Day and the start of the celebration of the Lunar New Year, the year of the Dog.
And it concluded with us taking part in the CA EL Roadmap Review Committee as the California capital of Sacramento was blanketed by a late winter storm of cold air and rain, hail, and snow.
But all this was in the midst of a tragedy in a school in Florida that ended the lives of students and educators.
This month of February has reminded us just how precious every day of life is, and how it is precious that we continue to give our lives to education, as learners, as students, as parents, as teachers, as administrators, as advocates and stakeholders in education, and the importance that we all have in an interconnected information net where we must identify weaknesses and make prompt and efficient repairs, or face a continuing damage that deteriorates and vanishes into air over time.
