Tustumena Elementary Newsletter
May 19, 2017
Last newsletter for this school year
Thank you all for being a part of our Tustumena Family. This is the last newsletter for this school year but that doesn't mean that I won't be sending periodic newsletters during the summer, especially in early August, so please keep checking. Speaking of August, our back to school night is Monday, August 21, 2017. We will meet in the gym at 5:30pm for a few minutes then we will open the classrooms at 5:45pm. At 6:15pm the food will be ready so families can exit the classrooms, grab something to eat, visit with each other, then go home and get ready for school the next day.
Please be sure to check out the "Coming Events" to see the schedule for the last week.
Thank you again and I look forward to serving our Tustumena community again next year.
Sincerely,
Doug Hayman
Staffing Changes at Tustumena
Our beloved Mrs. Blossom and Mrs. Evenson will be joining the ranks of "Happily Retired Grammas". We do not have a replacement for Mrs. Evenson yet, but I am happy to announce that Mrs. Granger will be stepping into the Kindergarten teacher role next year. Mrs. Granger has taught our Title I/Pre School sessions for several years so teaching kindergarten will be "old hat" for her. Of course this leaves us with the challenge of filling the Title I position. I will be working on that over the summer.
Another staffing change that is due to budget constraints is the transfer of Mr. Gauthier, our evening custodian. He will be filling the same position over at Sterling Elementary. We wish him the very best and will miss his friendly demeanor.
I will publish an updated staffing list next August after things settle down from the budget crunch.
