• Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10)

  Teachers create environments that foster learning, growth, and development, and they do it with compassion, creativity, and a genuine love for our students. Our teachers' work goes far beyond the classroom. They collaborate with families, engage with communities, and provide the kind of mentorship and guidance that will shape our students' lives for years to come. Teachers inspire our children to be curious, confident, and passionate about their dreams.

  Join us this week to thank New York City’s teachers.

  Use the DOE All-Stars tool to express appreciation to the teachers who are making a difference in your life.

  You can share your gratitude on social media using the hashtag #ThankaTeacherNYC.
