If this is true - there is math for my child next year. He still has 2 more years of HS. Looks like no science for him next year as well. Anyone else in a similar predicament?<br /><br />Garfield PArentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-10411013030556928462011-05-10T11:48:31.569-07:002011-05-10T11:48:31.569-07:00Thank you for the explanation.

We have some teachers who will be moving or taking on different roles. Allison Fenzl will be moving to Cambodia this summer with her family, this is an amazing opportunity for Allison and we are very excited for her, but we will also miss her greatly. Kristen Anderson has decided that she would like to work closer to home as her children get older and she considers childcare and school choices for her kindergartner. Our beloved Bob Schilperoort has also decided that he would like to pursue other endeavors and has decided to retire. As we look towards next year, our goal is create and support collaborative teams. We are thrilled that Brent Hinson and Althea Chow have both decided to return to full time. Nancy Sears will be our full time librarian. She is planning on attending a national librarian’s conference as part of her professional development.

So maybe they are ending the job share since she wants to teach fulltime or the school wants to end job sharing. They did ask parents about what we think about job sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649338642905686469.post-37273093148986500562011-04-26T14:56:32.449-07:002011-04-26T14:56:32.449-07:00A 4th grade Lowell teacher is also leaving.A 4th grade Lowell teacher is also leaving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
