Elementary Teachers: Register for the ISD Elementary Conference 2018 Select Keynote - this should be at the top of the 'Sections' list. Select three additional sessions. Please pay special attention to the section TITLE and TIME. You will select one section from titles that begin with S1, one section from titles that begin with S2, one section from titles that begin with S3. There are some exceptions to this for sections that span multiple session time frames.
Staffing Updates:
- We have hired Maureen Walmsley as our new 4th grade teacher to fill Katie Dale's position.
- We have been reduced from 7 sections of Kindergarten to 6. The district will re-look at our numbers in August, but as of now we are in a holding pattern of 6 sections. We lost one our new Kindergarten hires (Nicole Fosnes) to the dual language program the district is staring at Clark and IVE.
- We still needed to hire for one more section of Kindergarten, and that interview was held on Monday. I think we will all be happy with who we are planning to hire. I cannot announce it yet, but this person is very familiar to us.
