With the implementation of our new reading program next year, we encouraged many of our teachers to consider teaching a different grade level. This approach provides a fresh start, allows teachers to bring new perspectives to their classrooms, and helps strengthen our instructional program across all grade levels. We are excited about the talented team we have in place for the 2026-2027 school year. Below is our current teaching assignment plan (as always, assignments are subject to change based on enrollment and school needs). Monday 8am is our Step-up Day (when current students will get to spend some time with their new teachers!)
