New Start and End Times for all 3 Schools

Earlier this year, the Board of Education voted to approve new start and end times for all three schools in our district. The main reason for these changes is to allow more instructional time for our students and more flexibility in our internal schedule to meet the needs of ALL our students.

The times that were approved for the 2008-09 school year and the early release times for each Monday are as follows:

Since You've Been Gone!

The administrative team and many staff members have been very busy since school got out. Over 70 applications for the first grade position were screened and top candidates were interviewed. The first grade team welcomes Ms. Valerie May to replace Mrs. Laura Barringer who is our new gifted teacher!

In addition, Mrs. Walas is changing from ELL to teaching second grade. Mrs. Uruba will be transferring from third grade teacher at Rutledge to ELL at Todd. In addition, pending board approval, Ms. Eunice Park will be joining the Todd ELL team as a third teacher.

We are recommending to the board that we hire Mr. Brandon Koenig for the PE teacher that Todd shares with Rutledge Hall.  Finding someone for our Speech parental leave for September through December is also on the top of the hiring list.

Principal for a Day : Mr. S

Who knew a second grader could raise $400 for the PTA's recent walkathon! A boy from Ms. Pappas' class did just that and earned the job of principal for one day. This is his story!

I started the day by leading the school in the pledge of allegiance on the intercom with two pledge helpers from Mrs. Cook's class. I announced, "No homework!"

I went on a tour of the whole Todd Hall School. I met my old teachers, Mrs. Goldman and Mrs. Barringer. I got to see what my class was doing in the computer lab. We had a second grade All School Meeting with Mrs. Weiss, the Rutledge Hall principal.

Next I went on a tour of Rutledge Hall. I got to see all the classrooms. I even went inside Mrs. Panoutsos' fifth grade classroom during reading.

LOST & FOUND

 

The lost and found items that were left at the school have been donated to Good Will.
