Rockbrook Staffing Updates 2023-2024
As we shared before the break we have several staffing updates for the 2023-2024 school year that we wanted to be sure that families were made aware of:
Retiring at the end of May:
Jan Kyle - 2nd grade
Elizabeth Raphael - 2nd Grade

We appreciate all that these teachers have done and continue to do for our school over the year, will enjoy the remainder of our year with them, and look forward to celebrating this milestone in the careers of our teachers.

We are also pleased to let families know that we have been hard at work hiring for these positions and making some adjustments to our teaching placements that will take effect in the Fall of 2023.
