Teacher of the Year 2019
Time to select and honor our outstanding teachers!
#WeAreWentzville
It's that time of year again, time to select your building Teacher of the Year!
Your building Teacher of the Year (TOY) is to be elected by ballot (staff, students, and parents are all possibilities) and announced and celebrated at your discretion within the time frame of American Education Week, November 18-22. We ask that you confer with nominees prior to placing their name on the ballot to confirm their willingness to participate.
Remember that guidance counselors, librarians, instructional coaches, and other similar positions are also eligible to participate in the Missouri Teacher of the Year Program (see the DESE website more details).
If your building TOY wishes to be considered for District TOY honors, then they will need to complete the application questions by Monday, December 2.
Finalists will be contacted by the Community Relations Department to schedule an interview with the selection committee.
Building TOYs will be presented at the December 19 Board of Education meeting, along with the surprise announcement of District Teacher of the Year.
Our District TOY is eligible to apply for Regional Teacher of the Year and then State Teacher of the Year if they win the region title.
Past building TOYs can be re-elected.
Please send us your building's TOY when you announce it in your building and include a photo!
Let us know if you have any questions!
