ESS South Carolina

New school year, who dis? 🍎✨

Fellow educators, as we gear up for another exciting year, I’m checking in. Are you ready?

Are all of your certifications and forms up to date, having you ready for the new school year? Check with your ESS Manager should you have any questions.

Teaching is all about continuous growth. We learn right alongside our students. Before those classroom doors open, take a quick moment to reflect on your goals. Check in with yourself and your teaching community to share resources, tips, and encouragement.

Whether you are trying a new lesson plan or brushing up on new technology, we are in this together! Let’s make it the best year yet.

What is one new thing you are eager to try or learn this year? Drop it in the comments below! 👇💬

The Monday Scaries are real… but we’re not letting them win! What’s something you do to get motivated at the start of the week?

Whether it's your favorite morning drink, a good playlist, setting weekly goals, or simply reminding yourself why you do what you do, we want your tips in the comments below.

Let’s help each other start the week on a positive note!

Our team has been busy all across South Carolina!

Jo, our Spartanburg 6 Recruiter, had a great time representing ESS at Meet the Teacher Night. Sarah, our Beaufort Account Manager, stopped by Open House at Bridges Prep to connect with educators and future substitutes.

Many of our partner districts are heading back to school this week, and we couldn't be more excited to kick off a new year with our amazing substitutes! 🍎

Happy Friday, South Carolina!

Your ESS team is kicking off the new school year the best way we know how - attending events, connecting with our communities, and spreading the word about exciting substitute opportunities in our partner districts!

Celebrate National Waterpark Day by splashing, sliding, and soaking in the summer sun! 🌊☀️ While big aquatic parks offer epic thrills, you can often make just as many memories right at home.

Option 1: The Ultimate Day Trip
Looking to go all out? Celebrate the holiday at your local waterpark

Option 2: The Backyard Hose & Sprinkler
Don't want to deal with long lines or packing up the car? Remember that the original "waterpark" just requires a hose and a sprinkler! It is just as much fun and perfectly localized right in your own yard!

How will you be celebrating? Will you be catching a thrill on a mega-slide or twisting the garden hose in the backyard?

Beat the heat with this summertime brain booster:
Try an early morning or post-dinner Mindful Nature Walk.

The Routine: Head to a local park

The Brain Benefit: As you walk at a moderate pace, engage your brain by actively observing your surroundings. Name 3 things you see, 2 things you can hear, and 1 thing you can smell. This dual-tasking engages multiple brain regions, reduces stress, and helps lower blood sugar.

A sharp mind starts with small, consistent habits. Get moving today to protect your cognitive future!
