Hi!

Happy New Year, and welcome back to another Quick Tip Wednesday!

This week’s quick tip is all about recognizing your educators as they return from winter break. January is the perfect time to celebrate first-semester successes, highlighting top school sites, engaged users, or popular content, while also setting the stage for a strong second semester.

Below the video, you’ll find a ready-to-use email template to help you recognize what was accomplished in the first semester and refocus your educators for what’s ahead.

[Here is the template ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EvVJRG_UHn2v6YPXl1VySgVqdVjFJ_5hQ0tdIcp6DX8/copy?usp=sharing)to help you celebrate first-semester impact and set a clear focus for the months ahead. Have questions or want ideas tailored to your district? [Let’s schedule time to connect](https://www.alludolearning.com/meetings/jamie-bridgman?uuid=234b3fc1-f85f-4a1d-84d3-d778f62f12e1).

 

Have a great day, and we’ll see you next Wednesday!
