Hello everyone,Happy Friday! End of a crazy week, for sure.
2014-2015 Staff Assignments
I know you've all been waiting to see the plan for next year's staffing assignments. Thanks for being patient.
As I indicated in last week's Blue Note, there are a few changes and modifications to our plan for next year which hopefully will equip us to meet the forecasted demographic and academic needs of our students.
You can download the latest version of the 2014-2015 plan. Please remember: this plan is tentative and based on current enrollment levels and our best-guess regarding AZELLA testing outcomes. That means this plan could change at any point with little notice based on shifts in enrollment, actual AZELLA and AIMS test results, resignations, retirements, district initiatives and a host of other unforeseen variables... lots of moving parts. Rest assured, however: if changes to this plan will affect you I will do my best to give you a heads-up if I am able.
Worth noting:
- We've added a third-fourth multi-age class to the mix for next year for a couple reasons, first because our enrollments at third and fourth demand it (we expect a large number of our current SEI students to pass AZELLA and move into gen-ed classrooms) , and second because we think it might be a very good option for placement of our third-grade students who are retained due to Move On When Reading.
- Due to the large number of kinder students who will be starting first grade in our SEI program, we've also reduced our non-SEI first grades to three sections; to help us accommodate this shift, Mr. McAllister will be moving to the Computer Lab next year. I am grateful to him for his willingness to take on this new role.
- We will need to hire at least four new teachers before the beginning of next year. Three of these positions are already posted (Md-fragile, third, and fifth) and I hope to post the other (third-fourth) by the end of the month.
