New Teachers, New Beginnings!

On August 23rd, The Fox Point - Bayside School District provided a special program for the teachers that are new to the District this year.  Each year, new teachers are assigned mentors that help ease the transition and provide information and support.  We have six new teachers this year and all of them have prior teaching experience.  Because of the fine reputation of the District, literally hundreds of people apply for vacant positions each year.  Again this year, the new teachers are a very impressive bunch. During the various discussions and activities, it became evident that the new teachers are highly skilled  and have a genuine care and concern for students.  It is exciting when you think of the influence on student learning these new teachers will have in  our learning community for the next twenty plus years. Also, kudos to the mentors who help guide the new teachers.  It was truly a productive event today.  Hats off to all of our great educators that will be coming back to work on Monday,  August 26th.
