Staffing and Classroom Updates –

Our hiring is finished and we are excited to welcome some amazing new additions to our community. Look for our new staff bios on the website coming soon. Below is a quick peek at some new names, and grade levels:
|
**Also of note, Ms. Ritchie is moving from Kindergarten to 1st grade, Ms. Cobb is moving from 2nd grade to 3rd grade, and Ms. Houston is moving from 4th grade to 2nd grade. Ms. Bosurgi has also moved from 3rd grade to the Assistant Principal position.
|
Joining our already strong social emotional learning team of Ms. Ryden, Ms. Mosby and Ms. Diesner, are Sophia Carre (Social Worker), Ashlee Adams (School Psychologist) and Monica Whitlock (Special Education Coordinator). This team is integral to the work we do in supporting the whole child.

We are also beyond excited to welcome two new special education classrooms. We will welcome to our community an Early Learning Support (ELS) classroom that will support students with disabilities in grade K-2. We will also be opening a Specific Learning Support Classroom (SLS) for students with disabilities in grades 3 – 5. I am thrilled that we will be able to serve students with a wider variety of disabilities and that our new students and families will add to the richness and diversity of our community.
