The last day of school is here…which means tomorrow is the first day of summer! Today your child will arrive home with some papers from school (possibly lots of papers). Some additional details below regarding end of the year reports:
- Report Cards: All K-5 report cards mailed after school today (unless you asked to have your child’s report card sent to you by email — an option provided by some teachers).
- Next Year’s Teacher: Recorded on your child’s report card. No changes to teachers allowed. Class list development has taken place for the past five weeks. See above for when to expect report cards.
- Class Lists: Posted on the blog (top section between BUS PASS and DATES/FORMS) on June 13. Reminder: NO changes made to class lists. Many, many hours have gone into creating these lists with input from parents and close examination of student needs, class composition, etc. If your child did not get the teacher s/he was hoping for, I ask that you be a positive role model by assuring your child that the teacher they have for next year will be just right for next year. I have learned that often any anxiety that children experience about a new teacher during a new year is reduced when a calm, assuring parent puts them at ease. Thank you for your help with this in advance.
We have had a few changes in our teaching staff for the 2014-15 school year. All of the teachers listed below are excellent and bring a rich experiences to their grade level teams. The changes are as follows:
- Mrs. Wert (formerly our cognitively impaired K/1 teacher) will be teaching pre-kindergarten.
- Mrs. Bast (formerly our reading teacher) will be teaching first grade.
- Mrs. VanKoevering (formerly a first grade teacher) will be teaching second grade.
- Mrs. Quigley (formerly a second grade teacher) will be teaching fourth grade.
- Mrs. Walenta (formerly a fourth grade teacher) will be teaching fifth grade.
- Finally, an 11th hour change in staffing: Mr. Bialochowski will be teaching 6th grade science at Riley Middle School. Mrs. Ball, formerly a middle school media specialist and an expert in teaching reading & writing, will be teaching 5th grade. Her blog will be available for parents to view later this summer.
I will keep the blog up to date throughout the summer months. Have a wonderful summer. The new school year will be arrive before we know it!
Mrs. Reagan
