The Teacher of the Month Program runs October – February with its culmination at the Red Apple Gala in April. Nominations for Teacher of the Month are accepted from the 1st - 20th of every month, October-February. Any certified district teacher is eligible to be nominated. You may not nominate yourself for this award. Students are highly encouraged to nominate a teacher. Please answer every question in order to give your candidate the best opportunity for being named Teacher of the Month. In addition, any examples and detailed information you can provide that showcase that this teacher is exceptional, are helpful. 

Any teacher who did not receive “Teacher of the Month” during the previous year is eligible to be nominated during the current school year, October-February. Teachers who were awarded Teacher of the Month in the 2017-18 school year, will not be eligible to receive the award for the next two years (until the 2019-20 school year).
