It’s now August, so that means Back-to-School Season is here!

As students pick out their backpacks, teachers prepare their classrooms, and ESP members make sure everything is in order, the members of ISEA Retired want to send our heartfelt encouragement to all the dedicated educators heading back for another school year.

Whether you're returning to the classroom, supporting from the sidelines, or simply cheering on today’s educators, this season reminds us all of the joy, challenges, and rewards of shaping young minds.

To every teacher out there getting ready:
You've got this.
And remember, a whole community of retired educators is standing behind you, cheering you on with pride and gratitude. 💙🍎

Here's to a great 2025–2026 school year! 🎉
