Pre-K Program Updates

Congratulations to Mrs. Linda Carpenter on being named the Director of Saint James School’s Pre-Kindergarten program!  Mrs. Carpenter has been working with students at Saint James School for many years, most recently as our Pre-K4 teacher.  In her expanded position, Mrs. Carpenter will continue to be the lead teacher for the Pre-K4 classroom, with Mrs. Rataic returning as her classroom aide.

In other staffing news, Ms. Page (Pre-K3 teacher) and Mrs. Lerner (Pre-K4 aide) have decided to pursue other opportunities for this upcoming school year.   We wish them well in their new endeavors!

With these changes, we are also excited to share that Mrs. Rebecca Duval will be taking on the role of lead teacher in our Pre-K3 program.  Mrs. Duval was originally hired to support Saint James School as an aide, but with her experience running a daycare/preschool program for many years she jumped at the opportunity to teach our youngest Sabers when the position opened up.  Mrs. Davis, who has been part of our Pre-K3 program for 6 years will continue to be part of the Pre-K3 teaching team as a classroom aide.

Also joining our Pre-K team as classroom aides this year will be Ms. Louisa Afoakwa-Abrokwa, who was previously an aide in the Saint Bartholomew preschool program, and Mrs. Fionnuala Purcell, who also works with the Pre-K students in the SJS aftercare program.

We are excited for a great year!
