Class Placement Process & Reminders
- Thank you for your input into the placement process.
- Over the past two weeks various school-based teams have met to provide input into the development of next year's classes. Class lists are still in the development phase.
- We are careful to balance academic, social, emotional and behavioral needs to ensure the most effective learning environment for all students.
- Class placement letters will be mailed home on June 21st.
Staffing Changes for 2019-20 School Year
- Congratulations to Mrs. Young on her new teaching position in Northern VT. Mrs. Shah will be taking a year leave to care for her new infant. We will miss you both at Greenlodge next year.
- Mrs. Roberts will remain in second grade and Ms. Killgoar will be moving to 3rd grade next year.
- Greenlodge will be hiring a new music teacher due to the additional position added in the budget. Mr. Molinaro will be teaching at Oakdale and Mrs. Santos will be at Avery next year.
- Note: This is the current configuration as of the publishing of this newsletter. Subject to change prior to September 1.
Classroom Configurations 2019-2020
- Three sections of first grade, two sections of second grade, two sections of third grade, two sections of fourth grade, three sections of 5th grade. Class sizes remain 18-22 students per class.
- We are fortunate to be able to have two co-taught classrooms next year. In 4th grade, Ms. Magnacca and Ms. Larson will be co-teaching. In 3rd grade, Ms. Dolleman will be co-teaching with a new dual certified, elementary and special education teacher. We will begin the hiring process shortly. Click here to view the presentation to PTO on co-teaching. This is a wonderful opportunity to have two teachers working together all day in one classroom to support the diverse needs of all students. Co-taught classes with two full time teachers may have class size of 21-23 students. This will provide 1:12 teacher to student ratio, allowing us to maintain the benefits of smaller classes.
- Note: This is the current configuration as of the publishing of this newsletter. Subject to change prior to September 1.
