Welcome New Staff Members!
Lauren Antcliff joins the Super Central team as a fifth grade Science/Social Studies teacher. Lauren student taught last year under the supervision of Elisha Rowe and Amanda Dunn, so this transition will be a smooth one. Lauren's heart for others in unbelievable. I'm so thankful she is staying with us at Central.

Current Opening - 5th Grade
Elisha Rowe has requested a move to second grade, where she can gain some experience in a primary grade level with kiddos who aren't quite taller than she is! (: Elisha is going to do INCREDIBLE things in second grade - we are so excited for her!
If you are interested in teaching fifth grade, please let us know. We want to maintain the co-teaching model that has been established, so we are looking for someone to take the lead in planning ELAR, but take an active role in truly co-teaching all other subjects. If this opportunity speaks to you, send us an email. We will be posting the position online soon, but wanted to give the first opportunity to our current Central staff members.
If you know an exceptional 5th grade teacher wanting to make a move to the very best elementary school around, send them our way and let us know you have someone. We love it when our Central staff members can hook us up with people they know and love!
