Welcome Back
As the new school year begins, we want to extend a warm welcome back to all our ATA Local members. We hope your summer was restful and restorative, and that you're feeling recharged for the year ahead.
This fall brings new opportunities to connect, collaborate, and advocate together. Whether you're returning to a familiar classroom or starting a new role, know that your hard work and dedication make a lasting impact on students, schools, and communities.
Your ATA Local is here to support you every step of the way—through professional issues, advocacy, wellness resources, and solidarity. We look forward to standing with you as we take on another year of teaching, learning, and leading.
Here’s to a great start to the 2025–2026 school year!
