W.T. Information
Staff Changes
We stayed low in classroom numbers this year in Kinder, 2nd & 4th grades. Due to this, and the impact that the new International Leadership School will have on BISD student enrollment, W.T. is cutting a teacher in each of the following areas- 2nd grade, 4th grade and 5th grade for the 2016-2017 school year. That leaves us with more employees than we have teaching positions. Mrs. Mackey and Mrs. Hubbell, two of the most recent of our family members hired, will go to other BISD campuses. Additionally, Mrs. Bumpas will only be able to be with us half time due to W.T. receiving a 23% reduction in Title I funds. This of course is very tough for these ladies as well as all of us as a staff. Please give them hugs and encouragement.
Of course staffing changes occur up until the last day of school and sometimes throughout the summer. If your plans have changed for next year I need to know ASAP so all staff know where they will be next year prior to summer break.
Additionally, we will be getting a section of Pre-K from O.H. Stowe. adding another section of Pre-k 4. Lluvia Ruiz Rosas will be joining our Lion family.
Summer Professional Learning

Staff please submit to me what professional learning you will attend this summer!
End of Year
As the year comes to a close, it is not a time to loosen the reigns but to keep the consistency tight, like you have done all year. If students are given leeway they will begin to unravel behaviorally. Supervision and consistency should be strong as we close the year. We are having many office issues at times of non-instruction such as recess, lunch, and breakfast times. Please continue to be as vigilant as you have been all year with our Lions. You are already doing a great job, this is just a reminder to stay the course!
