CJH Weekly Update
Staff - Welcome Back!
Welcome Back!
I have been able to attend some wonderful professional development throughout the summer, that I am hopeful to apply in the upcoming school year. We have also spent time planning our back to school events for staff that I think we will all find valuable.
Please take time to welcome our new staff member to the JH. Amanda Ferris is joining us this year. Amanda previously taught in Bangor and Goodrich Area Schools. She will be teaching Spanish I and II as well as a section of Art 6. Her classroom will be in Room 31. Be sure to stop by and introduce yourself!
This year we have work ahead of us that will be focused upon our PLC work. We will continue to work on the 3 goals that we established last year as a building as well. Feel free to check the JH shared drive. I have re-organized things by filing away documents from last year and I have started to place our calendars and bell schedules in the folder for you to utilize in your planning.
As I prepare to send this, please note that master schedule is close, but not yet set in stone. Celeste, Tonya and I spent quite a bit of time over the summer working toward a best case scenario schedule for everyone. Please know that all requests were considered but with the amount of shared staff and other constraints on our schedule we were not able to keep things the same as last year. This means that many of you are teaching new to you classes, changing grade levels, or preparing for 3 and 4 different classes as we adjust our staffing to meet our enrollment and student needs. An updated Master will be sent out next week once everyone is back in the office.
