We hope you had a wonderful winter break!  I know our staff was excited to have some time away and to be able to spend time with family.  In talking with our students, it sounded like everyone had a great time away and some are even eager to be back at school.
As the weather continues to remain cold, we want to remind our students to dress in layers, to wear a winter coat, hats, and gloves each day.  We recommend all students dress for the weather, if you need assistance with the any of these winter items please let us know.
We wanted to update everyone as to some staffing changes occurring this year.
Megan Lambert-5th grade teacher, has decided to remain home with her daughter for the rest of the school year.  We are glad that Mrs. Lambert is able to make this choice and know she will enjoy this exciting time at home.
Arielle Miller:  previously the long -term substitute for Mrs. Lambert has been hired to replace her.  She has done an outstanding job filling in for Mrs. Lambert and she is excited to start this next step in her teaching career.
Pat Bratchie: currently our .5 Secretary will become a fulltime secretary at Swansfield Elementary.  We are sad to see her leave, however understand that working fulltime at one school is better than being split between two schools.  This job is posted and we will be interviewing next week to fill this position.
