We
cannot believe that the end of the year is just around the corner! Miss
Jodi just sent out our Welcome Packets for
our 2018-2019 school year! If you didn't receive your packet, please let us know. As sad as I am to
say goodbye to so many sweet families at our graduation ceremony on Thursday, I sure do love the excitement that surrounds planning and prepping
for the new school year!! Next year is one of those years here at CDS
that doesn't happen often (thankfully) where we will be moving teachers
around and saying goodbye to a few of our fave people ever :( Change is
hard for us here when it comes to our staff since they are our family,
but thankfully they will still be around, subbing, helping in the
summer, babysitter co-workers children, etc., so we will still get to
see them on a weekly basis!!
While we are sad
about the changes, we are incredibly excited about our amazing teachers
that are returning for another fun-filled year here at CDS and the
passion, experience, and love they bring to our little school. We have
always been blessed with the best teachers and are so grateful they
chose to spend their days here with our sweet students, supportive
parents, and amazing co-workers!!!
Little Learners
Miss Abby and Miss Veronnica
It
is with great excitement, we announce that Miss Veronnica will be back
in the Little Learners classroom where it all started for her here at
CDS! She is looking forward to being back in the classroom after taking a
year off for maternity leave and assisting in another classroom for a
year. Her sweet little one, Zoey, will be joining mom in Little Learners
this year! Miss Abby can't wait to meet her new, little class and watch
them grow and learn all year! Miss Abby loves doing crafts, so look
forward to lots of adorable projects coming home! It's going to be a
great year, full of lots of singing and dancing!!
Two Year Old Class
Miss Shelley and Miss Melissa
Reunited
and it feels so good!!! Miss Shelley and Miss Melissa will be back
together in the two year old class where they both started here at CDS
before they both took time off for maternity leave. Miss Shelley
returned this past school year as an assistant in the four year old
classroom but is ready to be back with the littles that she absolutely
adores! Miss Melissa has been back at CDS for the last two years as an
assistant in the three year old class but is thrilled to back in the two
year old class and co-teaching with Shelley again!
Three Year Old Class
Miss Veronnica
Miss
Veronnica is over-the-moon excited about returning to her three year
old class this school year! Her two-year break from this class was too
long in her book and she is already planning amazing activities for her
students! Miss Veronnica taught our three year old class for two years
previously before spending a year in another classroom, helping a new
teacher get acclimated, and a year off from our morning programs to take
care of her sweet bundle of joy, Zoey! Miss Veronnica is also our after
school and summer camp director, a position she has excelled in over
the last four years!
Three Year Old Class
Miss Laura and Miss Anna
Miss
Laura and Miss Anna are currently teaching our precious two year olds
and are so happy to be moving up with them into our three year old
program next year! They are looking forward to starting the year off
already knowing their students and picking up right where they left off!
We are excited to see the benefit of looping with this group of
students and anticipate so much growth!! (Plus all their kiddos already
know all the dance moves for their fun dance parties!)
Four Year Old Class
Miss Autumn and Miss Maggie
Miss
Autumn and Miss Maggie make an amazing team and we are excited to see
their class soar next year! They balance each other perfectly, making
their classroom a wonderful place for their students to succeed. Get
ready for amazing pictures and cuteness overload! Miss Autumn and Miss
Maggie always have something fun and exciting going on in their class.
Four Year Old Class
Miss Ashley and Miss Jordan
This
mother-daughter duo is pumped to be spending a year back in the
classroom, proven by the 56,565,654 pins already on their Pinterest
board. Students can expect lots of fun projects and Friday dance
parties!! This team will make
learning interactive and so much fun!
Kindergarten Class
Miss Caitlin
Miss
Caitlin will be sticking with her K kiddos for another year of fun and
learning! Miss Caitlin blows us away with the skills and experience she
brings to the classroom, which shows in the amazing progress we see in
her students. When you walk by Miss Caitlin's classroom, her students are always engaged in what is being taught!
As
you can see from above, we have a few names missing from the lineup.
Miss Stephanie will be stepping down from her position this year to
fulfill a huge need we have here at CDS. Miss Stephanie will be serving
as a sub for all of our teachers to help us maintain a normal classroom
routine when our staff cannot be here due to illness, emergencies, or
vacations. Miss Stephanie enrolled in school last year to further her
degree, so as you can imagine, a position that requires no lesson
planning is a huge relief to a wife and mom of two! We are so thankful
for her willingness to take on this role and know our teachers will love
having her support when they can't be here!
Miss
Kalyn will also be stepping down from her position in our three year
old class because she is due with her first child at the end of August!!! Miss
Kalyn is looking forward to spending time with her sweet, little one,
but will still be around, picking up students to care for them after
school! While we will miss Kalyn terribly, we are so excited for this
next chapter of her life and can't wait to celebrate the birth of her
sweet girl with her!!!
And lastly, Miss Natalie
will be returning to a full-time position at a local public school to
once again be in the same school as her daughter, Finley. We are so
grateful for the support and love Miss Natalie has given us here at CDS
and will miss her so much! Miss Natalie will still be here over the
summer and we hope that her schedule allows for that continue in the
future!
We can't wait to celebrate our first day of school with our returning and new families!!! It's going to be an amazing year!!
