Message from Mr. Kingery
Hello Families,
Thank you for taking a few minutes to review the information in this newsletter. Please take a moment to share ideas regarding a school mascot and colors. Survey - Mascot & School Colors. The input from you and our future students is critical to creating the identity for Art Rutkin Elementary. We are also thrilled to have enrollment start on Monday, January 23rd, next week. Student enrollment numbers will determine how many teachers we are able to hire. Teaching positions will be filled for each grade level class according to enrollment numbers. Teacher, specialists, classified and hourly support staff positions will be posted on the TTSD Human Resources webpage - TTSD job openings.
