HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Good evening! It’s hard to believe that students will return to school in just a few days… even crazier to think that in less than a week I’ll be a MOM!

First, I want to remind you that a few things will be collected on Monday:

• Leaders in Learning Chart
• Homework Calendar/Reading Log
• Weather Journal

I had hoped to have a long-term substitute teacher lined up before my last day. Unfortunately we were not able to secure anyone with the necessary qualifications. At this time, I can only tell you that Mrs. Waddell is still very confident that a long-term guest teacher will be secured soon. In the meantime, the familiar faces belonging to Mrs. Mardini, Mrs. Faraj, and Mrs. Glover will be pushing-in to work with our class and make sure students are taken care of.

Thank you for understanding. I will of course be checking in to make sure things are in order. I have a hard time giving up control, (for many years as a teacher I had perfect attendance) but this is one instance where I know I need to put first things first. As much as I love all your children, my new role as a mother is the most important thing to me.

I will be sure to update you with any information regarding a guest teacher, as well as photos of our baby girl once she arrives. Thank you for the many gifts and well-wishes. Your thoughts and prayers for a safe delivery and healthy baby are greatly appreciated.

Most sincerely,

Mrs. Coleman
