HANDBOOK

'

I've been so busy being excited about my new job that I almost forgot to be overwhelmed. But, don't even worry because I just got three back-to-school mailings and now I'm well on my way to feeling suitably HARRIED.

There are a lot of new handbook items to learn: log ins, passwords, acronyms, policies, schedule...

I've posted the (ingenious, I think) schedule above. Here are some things I love about it: 1) the kids get to take seven classes, but never have more than six per day; 2) they have some breaks in the day, like BREAK, RECESS, and TUTORIAL; and 3) We have ADVISORY.

Also, and this is a revelation, teachers have TWO prep periods. Mine are A and C! I was so confused about the two-prep concept that I babbled to my new boss incomprehensibly about my HAPPINESS. Oh well.

I'm really excited about this new job. When's the first day back. Teachers go back Friday here. So my head is kind of exploding right now.

Schedules always seem to confuse me. I like the tutorials and would love to more about their operation.

My first day is next Thursday! But I've been in there every day while Shef is at art camp. I'm really pleased with how the room came together with my EIGHTEEN desks!!! Welcome to private school, indeed! :)
