Info for the Staff
Staffing Update
This time of year is difficult. On one hand, we are sad to see people leave the Greene School. On the other, when you hear about their next opportunity, you are happy for them. Chris Rains is in that situation. He will be leaving the Greene School at the end of this year. Chris is moving to Nashville with his girlfriend. He has accepted a position at Belmont University to help facilitate technology into their educational programs. Best of luck, Chris. You will be missed!
We have also filled another position. With one Mulvaney leaving us for retirement, what better time to welcome another one! Christine Mulvaney will be joining the Greene School to teacher 5th grade math next year.
Gifted Meeting
The consultant who will assist with gifted training will be meeting with math and ELA teachers next Thursday, March 7 at 7:20 in the MPR. Who should attend: teachers who will be teaching math or ELA at the Greene School next year who are not gifted credentialed. HERE is a document that we have been working on to help you create a training plan.
Scheduling Meeting Rooms
We have had some conflicts with meetings running over in Room 70, the Office Conference Room, and the MPR. Please be aware if someone is scheduled to be in a room after you. It is recommended that you talk to the participants of the meeting before you begin to set a time limit on the meeting.
Upcoming dates for your calendar:
Pancake Day - This Saturday, March 2nd at the High School - 8:00 am - 3:30 pm. Come for the music, come for the art, come for the pancakes!!!!
Staff Soup Cook-off! This Monday, March 4th - Bring your soup and any utensils to the Staff Lounge first thing Monday morning! If you haven't yet signed up for soup (or other items) please do so - the list is on the office bulletin board. (We could really use some more soup-makers! We know you are out there!!!!) SO rev up those soup pots this weekend and bring them full of warmth and goodness on Monday!
