Dear Parents,
Parents...we could use your help.
We have lost the services of our wonderful Lynn Deleon, at least for the time being. She has been a great support here over the years, first as a full time teacher and more recently, as a part-time Technology teacher. We have been able to cobble together short term support for the K-5 student for technology but we are looking for someone to fill Lynn’s shoes. Finding teachers has been a challenge across the archdiocese and we were very lucky to have so few leave last year, but finding a replacement for this position has so far been fruitless through the traditional methods of identifying new teachers. If any of you know anyone who might be interested in this position, please let us know. The job primarily consists of working with K-5 students in the Library and helping them navigate our technology curriculum. There is an aid available to help accomplish this. We have things in place and the students are familiar with the routine. Teaching experience would be a bonus but is not required. The position is currently three days a week but we are flexible and willing to offer a full time position and add some other duties around technology support. With the increase in devices at all grade levels, the need for assistance with those devices is becoming more and more critical. For our new strategic plan, the Staffing Committee is looking at the future needs in this particular area but the need for someone to replace Lynn as soon as possible is critical. I am guessing that most recent college graduates would possess the requisite technology skills to fill this position.
Please let us know if you can think of anyone.
Additionally, we are extremely grateful for the many parents who have joined our sub list. If you have considered it in the past but just not gotten around to it, please contact Allison Cogswell to get signed up. Every school is struggling with staffing shortages and we could really benefit from a few more names on the sub list.
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly
