Staff Updates for the Upcoming School Year

Good afternoon.  We wanted to let everyone know that the teacher assignment letters have been mailed.  You can expect to receive them tomorrow or the next day.  At the same time, we want to formally announce all the staff changes resulting from to the retirement of Mrs. Curry (from teaching 2nd grade), Mrs. Doll (Paraprofessional), Mrs. Thrall (Art), and Mrs. Maggie Blasius (Pre-K).  We are also saddened to announce that Mrs. Cruz-Gonzalez has recently accepted a position at a Catholic school closer to her hometown and will not be returning to Saint James School as a 4th grade teacher.  We have a wonderful new teacher who will be taking over the fourth grade spot – Mrs. Amy Devanney.  Mrs. Devanney is a certified teacher with a Masters of Arts and Education in Curriculum & Instruction.  She comes to us with a wealth of experience in a variety of school systems.
