What's Happening at the Kastle!
week of July 14, 2014
Administrative Announcements
- So proud of all of the teachers who are attending the workshops this week..these teachers are coming in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to work. Beware, they have already gotten a lot of work done, along with a "sneak peek" of what we are working on this year as a school! As I shared with yesterday's group - if yesterday was any indication, we are going to have a crazy-successful year!
- If you have been reassigned to a different school or a different grade level..please be sure Susan or I have your classroom library so that we can give it to the right person next year.

HELP NEEDED
1. As you clean the house, remember we have more VIF staff coming next year! Our new Mandarin teachers will need a whole other setup with regards to furniture, dishes, etc..so whatever you have, please consider donating!
2. We have a job opening for part time EC, due to Sarah Birkmaier's resignation, and also for a part time reading teacher (for the English instruction in the Mandarin rooms - Valorie CANNOT do both!). If you know of anyone who you think would be good for either position, send them my way!
