Almost ready...

Teachers are busy readying rooms and preparing bulletin boards for the new school year.  I am 1 for 2 on the bulletin boards!  I have been working hard on planning and on forming two 3rd grade student groups:  The Helper Squad and the Newcomers Team.  Helper Squad members will assist me with several weekly tasks.  Newcomers Team will build, maintain and give virtual tours using the Aurasma app on the ipad.  They will greet new families and assist is showing them the school, using our app and record tour information. Newcomers Team members will be buddies to any new students enrolling after the first month of school (everyone is new at first!)

I will have an Intern this year, Margo Litzenberg, who will be able to complete many of the school counselor's tasks - what a wonderful asset to our school to have another set of hands and another heart to help with this job.

Classroom lessons will begin in September.  The first week of school will be for getting to know new students and helping Kindergarten students and families adjust.

Feel free to contact me using the information in the tab to the upper right.
