May any meetings you have to get ready for the upcoming semester be interesting, productive, and short.
May printing services staple your packets on the right side.
May your students read the syllabus, buy/obtain the textbook, and stay awake for at least the first few classes.
May the textbooks be more up-to-date than your coffee maker.
That said, may your coffee maker make excellent coffee.
May everyone, from teachers to students to staff, have adequate food, clothing, shelter, and sleep time.
May federal and state money come in something resembling a reasonable time.
May your classroom be at least as well-equipped as the athletic facilities.
May the parents of your students be involved to whatever degree is appropriate to the students' age.
May administration have your back, but also have the backs of the students when appropriate.
May everyone be excellent to each other.
Happy fall!
