Smile

Thought Questions

I think the day I got offered the sixth grade teaching position is a pretty good memory.  It felt pretty darn good to have two principals telling me they wanted to hire me, and having them fight over which was going to add me to their team.  In the end, I got the sixth grade position over the fourth because that was my preference.  In many ways I got to pick my job.  The salary is more than I expected, and the school has already been incredible to work with.  Only a few more days until I meet my class!

I can see why this would make you smile, Karen! It does sound like the perfect match for you! Hard to believe schools are starting again! Just seems like summer was starting :) May it be a good year!

I'm so happy for you. I know, you were working hard to find a new position and I'm glad it worked out. I wish you all the best for this upcoming school year. Can't believe you are going back already. We are still home until Aug 27th!!!

Susi,
We are on a modified year-round schedule. I love it! The students will get a two week break in October, three for the Winter holidays, and two weeks for Spring Break. During each of those times staff has training for one week. The summer break is only six or seven weeks long. Most schools in the Phoenix area start in early August and get out in May sometime. One district near me starts tomorrow.
