Welcome Back!

Well, it did seem like it was really a short summer this time around. But, then again, I think I say that every summer.

I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you and welcome to all new teachers.

I will be posting my new "Teacher Center Hours of Operation" on my door shortly.

Professional Development will officially begin the week of September 20th. But, if you need copies of the current units of study or just a cup of coffee, stop on in.

UFT RALLY AT CITY HALL JUNE 16

Save Our City!

Join your colleagues, parents, community members and fellow city workers at a rally at City Hall on Wednesday, June 16, at 4 p.m., to halt devastating budget cuts.
Firehouses will close. Our schools face $500 million in cuts. Thousands of teachers face layoffs.

Tell Bloomberg and Klein:
Don’t lay off teachers. Offer an early retirement incentive instead.
Don’t slash services. Tax Wall Street and millionaires instead.
Preserve the quality of life in our city.
Don’t hurt our kids.
Can we count on you?
