Dear Daniel Bagley Families,
Dear Families,
Daniel Bagley is fortunate in that we were able to enroll all of the incoming siblings who wanted to be a part of our school community who are now out of our “attendance area.” Due to our high enrollment for the 2010/2011 school year most of you know that we are adding a new Contemporary Kindergarten. We are in the process of determining how to move classrooms/space around the building in order to accommodate our new addition. We have a committee working on recommendations to give to me. A decision will be made in early June.
One change we will have for next year is in teaching staff. For the 2010/2011 school year Ms. Agather will be moving to teach Contemporary Kindergarten. Ms. Agather has extensive knowledge and expertise in Kindergarten—she taught this grade level for several years before moving to Daniel Bagley. Ms. Agather will be a terrific addition to our Contemporary K/1 team.
Mrs. Johnson will be teaching 2/3 grades along with her teaching partner (yet to be hired). Mrs. Johnson has extensive knowledge and experience with these grade levels and taught these grades before becoming a full time Reading teacher 2 years ago.
As you may know, due to budget constraints, Kerri Johnson will be working .5 as a Reading Coach/Teacher for the building next year and teaching .5. She will focus her teaching on balanced literacy, Readers and Writers Workshop. We are currently in the process of hiring a .5 teacher to job share with her and teach math and science. The two of them will work out the other subject areas together.
In the next couple of weeks we will be in the process of hiring for the following positions: .2 Counselor (1 day per week) , .5 (half time) 2/3 grade position, and a 1.0 Special Education Paraprofessional (Leah Stavely is moving). Once these positions have been filled we will give you an update.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Kimberly Kinzer
Principal
