Dear ASA Families,
This, our final edition of FEM for the 2021 – 2022 School Year, is filled with gratitude and great news. Connecting with so many of you at Showcase as we strolled from stage to stage was such an exhilarating end to the year. My great news to share is that we have been really busy over the last few weeks as we fill most of our open leadership and teaching positions. First, I am excited to welcome two of our internal candidates to the Senior Leadership Team - Emma Popish has accepted the position of Dean of Academics and Eden Lewkowitz has accepted the position of Operations Director. As you can imagine, both Emma and Eden are well prepared for fulfilling these roles having worked from within for so long and gained such respect among our faculty, staff, students and parents. I am looking forward to the energy, vision, and experience they each bring.
We have also filled the vast majority of our teaching positions! We are still searching for 9th grade social studies (to replace Emma Popish), 8th grade math, and 6th grade science so continue to spread the word to those who may be a good match for ASA.
As we continue our extensive search for the right person to become our next ASA Principal, I will continue to fulfill both roles (Head of School/CEO and Principal). With a strong team – administratively and throughout our faculty and staff, I am confident that we will ready for to begin the new school year well prepared and ready to joyfully welcome our students and families back to campus.
Have a safe and relaxing break!
