Letter to the Community

Dear Parents, Community & CCUSD Staff –
Our CCUSD Governing Board officially recognized September 28 as “Legendary Teacher Day” in CCUSD. This day is a time for us to reflect on the profound influence that a teacher has had on our own lives. We all have that teacher who made a difference in our lives, who inspired us, believed in us when we doubted ourselves, or ignited a passion within us. These educators are the unsung heroes who shape the future through their dedication and passion. Many of these teachers do not even know the difference they have made in our lives.

While the official day may have passed, I invite each and every one of you to reconnect with that legendary teacher from your past who played such a pivotal role in your life. Reach out to them and express your gratitude for the impact they’ve had. Your words of appreciation can mean the world to them, reminding them of the importance of their work and the lives they’ve touched. 

Whether it’s a heartfelt email, a handwritten letter, a phone call, or even a visit if possible, your gesture will not only make their day but also serve as a powerful reminder of why they chose this noble profession. It’s an opportunity to pay it forward by acknowledging the tremendous value of teaching and the lasting impact it has on generations to come. Share your stories, anecdotes, and reflections with your colleagues and students. Let us collectively honor the tireless dedication and boundless compassion of those who choose to work in education. 

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and support to our students and schools. I’m incredibly proud to have each of you as part of our Cave Creek Unified School District family.

Together, 

Bill Dolezal
Interim Superintendent
