WFISD celebrates top teachers and paraprofessionals
District officials presented the 'Teacher of the Year' awards for primary and secondary schools and the new 'Paraprofessional of the Year' award.
Jamie Cove from Scotland Park Elementary received the award for the primary school category, and Logan Parrish from Legacy High School received the secondary school category.
Both recipients thanked the people who helped shape them through their lives.
'My high school teacher. He was an English teacher, and I went into English hating it. He changed learning for me. He made it relevant, real-life, and personal, and made relationships with us,' Cove said.
'Bunch of people in my life growing up that truly helped shape who I was, and I just wanted to be able to do the same for somebody who might need it,' Parrish said.
The first-ever 'Paraprofessional of the Year' award was given to Alfred Strachan from Barwise Middle School.
District officials said Strachan's unwavering dedication to making a difference made him perfect for the award.

ILEARN scores rising in math for Indiana students, flat in English/language arts
Six Lake County and five Porter County school districts topped the state's ILEARN combined math and English/language arts 31.2% pass rate in results announced Wednesday. Schools administered the Indiana Learning Evaluation and Assessment Readiness Network (ILEARN) in the spring. and statewide scores showed improvement in math, while English/language arts remained flat, officials said. 'While we continue to see students growing in math proficiency, this year's results remind us all of the need to continue our focus in both early and adolescent literacy,' said Gov. Mike Braun in a state release from the Department of Education. Statewide, 40.6% of Indiana's students are at or above proficiency standards in ELA, and 42.1% of students are at or above proficiency standards in math. It's up 0.1 and 5.2 percentage points, respectively, since 2021, ILEARN's baseline year with lowered scores blamed on the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2021, math pass rates have increased for all student populations. Still battling an achievement gap, Wednesday's report showed Black students had year-over-year increases in both ELA and math (0.9 and 2 percentage points, respectively) and had the highest percentage point increase of all students in ELA. Also, Black and Hispanic students had the highest year-over-year percentage point increases of all students in math (2 percentage points). Indiana students will take a redesigned ILEARN exam next year spaced over different periods in the school year. It was piloted in more than 1,000 schools last year. The redesigned exam will feature three 'checkpoints' and a shortened summative assessment at the end of the school year. Officials said the checkpoints will provide improved real-time student data to better support learning throughout the year, rather than waiting until the end of the year for results. 'While we are positively moving and improving in math, there is an urgent need to support middle school students in English/language arts,' said Secretary of Education Katie Jenner. Locally, students in the Duneland School Corp. in Chesterton fared the best with a combined pass rate of 53.6%, more than 20 points above the state pass rate. 'Our students, teachers and families continue to work together in the spirit of student achievement,' said Superintendent Chip Pettit. 'I'm excited to see their hard work paying off. We're also equally proud of the growth students are showing on a year-to-year basis.' Students in the School Town of Munster were close behind with a 53.3% pass rate. Nine Lake County districts improved their combined scores from last year, while three Porter County districts improved scores. Porter-based Discovery Charter School's 36.6% pass rate was the lone charter to eclipse the state pass rate. Four of the 10 local charters posted improved scores over last year. The private Diocese of Gary, with 20 schools, bested the state pass rate with a 40% mark. The state also released the 2025 SAT results, which represent the required high school assessment for federal accountability. Students take the SAT in 11th grade. The state passing score is the same as the national pass rate, per state law. Students who met the evidence-based reading and writing portion of the SAT improved 2.7% with 54.5% meeting the cut score of 480. In math, just 25.4% met the national cut score of 530.

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Releases White Paper on Rural Schooling Characteristics
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released a new white paper, 'The G.R.O.W. Generating Rural Opportunities in the Workforce™ Report and Probing the Unique Characteristics of Rural Schooling: A Narrative Inquiry,' by James Lane, Ed.D., senior research fellow with the University's Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR). In the paper, the author analyzes G.R.O.W. Generating Rural Opportunities in the Workforce™ report findings to contextual a narrative study of significant experiences and insights of current and retired educators who teach or have taught within small rural distant schools, in order to better understand characteristics that make these schools unique fabrics within the American educational tapestry. 'The narrative inquiry revealed shared characteristics in rural areas even though the participants were geographically disparate,' Lane shares. 'The findings may provide value to those leading rural schools as well as those who train and prepare rural educators, and who shape public policies impacting those communities.' Applying an analytical mode of narrative inquiry, Lane delves into experiences of rural educators and identifies similar characteristics including care, community and family, as well as limited college and career preparation, with contributors of geographic isolation and poverty. The author offers context for the narrative inquiry through related data findings from the G.R.O.W. report, which revealed distinctions between rural and urban workforce, their demographic makeup, and their career perspectives. Lane is a faculty member in the College of Doctoral Studies ACCESS program, facilitating doctoral courses and serving dissertation committees as panel validator, and has worked with University of Phoenix since 2006 in various roles. He served as a public school educator for 37 years as an English teacher, district language arts supervisor, and middle school assistant principal and principal. Lane earned his doctorate in Educational Leadership at University of South Florida, where he also completed a master's in Educational Leadership, a master of arts in English, and a bachelor's degree in English-Mass Communications Education.

Woman Finds Perfume in the Apartment After Signing Her New Lease. How She Honors the Late Tenant Goes Viral (Exclusive)
After moving into a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens, Jesse Lynn Hart found two vintage perfume bottles left behind by the late tenant who had lived there for more than four decades, and she asked her landlord to let her keep them She captured the moment of spraying the scent in the empty apartment on TikTok, reflecting on the shared experience of girlhood The response deepened Jesse Lynn's sense of community and connection, inspiring her to engage more with her neighbors and cherish the small ways we honor those who came before usWhen Jesse Lynn Harte moved into her new Astoria apartment, she wasn't expecting to inherit a legacy. But as she stood in the quiet, freshly painted space, alone for the first time, she sprayed a vintage perfume into the air — and felt an invisible bond with the woman who lived there before her. 'I once tried to run away, but I was like 4 and we lived on a cul-de-sac off of a dirt road,' Jesse Lynn tells PEOPLE, recalling her childhood dream of moving to New York. Growing up in a tiny New Hampshire town, her life has been shaped by a deep desire to make it to the city that never sleeps — and now, that dream has finally become real. Jesse Lynn had lived in the building for years before moving into the unit, often crossing paths with the elderly woman who had called it home for over four decades. 'She was fairly old and didn't speak too much English, but we got along and I would help her carry up her groceries and her bags and everything like that,' she says. When the tenant passed away, Jesse Lynn was offered a rare opportunity to move into a rent-stabilized apartment in one of New York's most competitive neighborhoods. The moment was filled with conflicting emotions, a mix of gratitude and solemn reflection. 'When I did the math, it made me emotional to think about and realized she'd been here for over 40 years,' Jesse Lynn shares. 'She was probably a little bit older than me when she moved in... it was a full circle moment to be like, wow, she lived such a long and beautiful life in this apartment, and I hope I get to do that too.' As she toured the vacant unit, Jesse Lynn noticed something unexpected — two vintage bottles of perfume still sitting on a shelf. 'I think they were using it to cover the smell of construction because most of her belongings had been tossed,' she says. 'But I didn't want them to toss her perfume. I thought that it would be special to have something of her here forever.' It was that simple but deeply sentimental request to keep the late tenant's perfume that sparked a viral moment on TikTok. The video, which shows Jesse Lynn misting the perfume in her empty apartment, is overlaid with her own words: 'She was just a girl here once, too.' In that quiet moment, her act of remembrance resonated with thousands of viewers who saw in it something universal. 'The internet helped me figure out what the scents are actually,' Jesse Lynn says, laughing as she describes the detective work that followed. 'One of them is an Amway perfume... it was discontinued in 1983. The other one had the label on it, and that one actually smells really good.' She filmed the video just after signing the lease, standing alone in the space that was no longer someone else's, but not yet entirely hers. 'That was actually moments after I signed the lease and the realtor had left, and I was alone for the first time in this new apartment,' she tells PEOPLE. 'I felt, I mean, it sounds so cheesy, but I really felt like she was there with me.' It was a moment filled with reverence due to the perfume's symbolism. 'I'm so sentimental and I'm such a girlhood kind of girl that it felt really special to bring a piece of her back into the apartment before bringing anything of mine in here,' Jesse Lynn says. For her, honoring that invisible thread of girlhood was at the heart of it all. 'We as a society talk about girlhood so much right now, but I don't know what it's defined as other than a feeling between girls,' she reflects. 'It really is the girls that get it, get it, and it's a bond that you share with other women in your life.' Even something as simple as perfume can carry that feeling across generations. 'We all have our scents, we all have our perfumes, we all have our favorite nail polish color,' Jesse Lynn says. 'Not to trivialize what it means to be a woman, but those are special aspects of being a woman that I cherish.' Though she doesn't have a signature scent herself, Jesse Lynn marks each chapter of her life with a new one. 'Every time that I go through something like a life change or an exciting step or a birthday or when a contract ends, I buy a new scent,' she shares. Now settled into the space, Jesse Lynn says the apartment has come to mean more to her than she ever expected. 'This is the first time that I've moved into somewhere and said, this is the last time I will ever move within New York City,' she says. 'Like, I will have this apartment for the rest of my life.' She imagines her future unfolding in the same rooms that once belonged to a stranger who became a quiet part of her story. 'I hope I have a daughter and I hope she'll take it over,' she says, tearing up at the thought. 'And the only time that I'll ever move out of this apartment is like, if my kids need it to live here with their kids, you know?' The moment has changed how Jesse Lynn sees her neighborhood, too. 'I have always thought that the community in my neighborhood is very special,' she says. 'I know everyone at my coffee shop by name. I know the local flower guys at the deli. They are obsessed with my dog.' That sense of connection has only deepened since moving into the apartment. 'They'll know my babies too,' Jesse Lynn says. 'They'll know my kids.' Still, Jesse Lynn admits she feels a tinge of guilt for not knowing more about the woman whose life she now honors. 'It makes me wanna engage more with my direct neighbors and know more about them,' she says. 'It's so crazy to me. Like people are living entire lives feet away.' She laughs at her own curiosity, but it's that same openness that made this story possible. 'There's someone on that side of that wall that can be living an entirely unique experience from anywhere in the world that moved to New York City,' Jesse Lynn says. 'And like everyone has such unique stories, and I just wanna know them all.' Her boyfriend, a lifelong New Yorker, doesn't quite share her enthusiasm. 'He and his New Yorker friends, they mind their business,' she says, laughing. 'And I'm the one from the middle of nowhere. I'm like, I'll sign something on the street, do you have a clipboard? I'll put my name down.' Still, it's that friendliness that allowed Jesse Lynn to build a bond with her elderly neighbor in the first place. 'I knew the neighbor who lived here because I was always helping her with her bags and talking to her and getting her mail for her,' she says. 'And so I think even more so now I'm gonna be battling against my boyfriend. He's going to have to be dragging me down the street as I talk to everyone.' When her TikTok went viral, Jesse Lynn didn't expect such a wave of kindness. 'It has been so nice that people have been nice to me on the internet for a change,' she says. 'Like the internet is the wild, wild west, and people can be so cruel.' But this time, the reaction was something else entirely. 'This is the first time ever where something has gone viral and the overwhelming majority is people having the same sort of sentimental experience that I am,' she tells PEOPLE. 'Recognizing the beauty of life and the sentimental full circle nature of it all.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. She's still amazed at the reach of the story, often clicking on commenters' profiles just to see who's out there. 'Everyone from every different walk of life is celebrating the moment that I shared with my previous neighbor,' Jesse Lynn says. For her, the moment has always been about something small but deeply meaningful. 'It's recognizing that we're all human and we're all on this planet together and just trying our best,' she says. 'To take a second and appreciate a small moment — that's all it was.' Jesse Lynn didn't set out to go viral. She just wanted to remember someone. 'Let's think about her. Let's pay respect to her,' she says. 'I think we all want someone to do that for us. I think we all want to be remembered and celebrated when we leave this planet and have our legacy carried on.'
