JESSICA: Hello Secondary families! We are here to welcome you back this fall. The two of us are the leadership this fall for the Secondary department. I am Jessica Greenfield. I have been the interim principal and now I am the interim co-principal. I'm thrilled to welcome my co-principal here to introduce herself.
LUISA: Hello! I am so excited to be joining the school community. My name is Luisa Gasco-Soboleski. I am looking forward to working with your children, families, friends, and the community here. I am the retired principal from American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, Connecticut, where I worked for many years in different departments. I have experience working with high school, middle school, elementary, preschool, vocational and PACES which is similar to Walden School. I retired four years ago and now I am bringing my background and experience to share with the wonderful TLC community.
LUISA: I feel honored to be a part of your community. I will be here on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I am available by email and text anytime. I will share my contact information with you, including my videophone number once it is set up. My office is on the first floor in the middle school and I am looking forward to working with Jessica and your children. The children are our hearts. Thank you and I am looking forward to seeing all of our students this Wednesday.
JESSICA: I know that some families are still wondering when you will get your child's schedule, supply list, and other information. Following teachers will be sending out individual student schedules on Monday at 3:00 PM, and we will have more information about school supplies when students come back and meet their teachers. You might notice that I just said “following teacher.” That's right, we are changing the term “academic advisor” back to “following teacher.” Following teachers will be in touch with you soon, and we are looking forward to a wonderful school year starting this Wednesday!
