Staffing for 2016-17
Upon receiving the re-enrollment forms (finally), the school council was approached with the numbers per grade level. It was decided that a third 4th Grade teacher would be added for the 2016-17 school year as the numbers exceeded our published student teacher ratio. Thus, there is an opportunity for current staff to submit a request in writing stating the desire to move into that position. Any such letter is due to administration by April 13th. This is not a guarantee, however, as multiple factors must be considered. Following this decision, the position will be posted for external hiring.
Once we have a feel for any possible shifting due to this open position, we will begin working on contracts for grade level assignments. Additionally, the school council, in conjunction with administration and finance, is working to finalize the salary scale, which is also needed for contracts.
Just wanted to keep you informed. If you have any questions, please feel free to speak with Fr. Gary, Tyler, or I.
Summer Professional Development Opportunities
Tired of feeling overwhelmed
at the start of
each new school year?
These days educators feel overwhelmed by everything...new technology, new instructional practices, the politics, and the ever-changing landscape in education.
How do you stay ahead of the trends, but also work smarter, not harder?
I’ve developed a series of workshops that will help you easily prepare your reading and writing blocks for next school year, so you aren’t left searching and pulling from too many resources and scouring the Internet.
Any of these workshops will inspire, regenerate, and reignite your passion for teaching, leading, and learning with plenty of lessons modeled so you are fully confident and ready to implement.
REGISTER online at: www.strobeleducation.com after you have approval from administration.
