Principal's Post
Dear Head Elementary Community,
I wanted to share a quick update on a few staffing and classroom adjustments we’ve made over the past few weeks.
As our enrollment numbers finalized this month, we had to make a few roster and schedule tweaks to ensure our resources are right where our students need them most:
Staffing Adjustments: Lower-than-expected enrollment meant closing one Kindergarten and one 1st-grade class (following district seniority policies). Conversely, our 4th-grade enrollment grew, so we added a new 4th-grade section to keep class sizes small.
Team Movements: Ms. Shariel George is moving from 1st grade to lead our new 4th-grade class! Ms. Haile Basden and Ms. Lauren Tundidor will be moving to support other schools in our cluster. We will miss them dearly and are so grateful for their impact here.
Map & Classroom Updates: To accommodate our new 4th-grade class, we shifted a few room assignments. This also allowed us to bring two classes out of the outdoor trailers and into the main building!
All families directly impacted by class or teacher changes have already been contacted.
While room numbers and rosters may look a tiny bit different, the same high-quality teaching, learning, and care are happening in every single classroom. Thank you for your flexibility and support as we set our school up for a fantastic year ahead!
