From the Principal's Desk
We continue to seek instructional assistants (IA) and substitute teachers. If you are interested in becoming an IA, or wish to discuss IA duties, please send me an email at: lsavage@chatham.k12.nc.us. If you are interested in becoming a substitute teacher (you will be working for ESS), more information may be found here.
Relatedly, we also want you to be aware that we have worked with our grade-levels to come up with a plan for the rare days when we have a teaching position unfilled (we have been having great success with ESS being able to fill the vast majority of teacher absences). In this situation, we are dividing up the class with the unfilled teaching position among the remaining teachers on the grade level to ensure all students on the grade-level are receiving quality instruction based on their grade-level's standards. We wanted you all to be aware in case your child comes home one day to say that they had a different teacher. Again, we do hope this need will be rare.

CGE Science Fair -
We are looking for volunteers to help judge our SCIENCE FAIR on NOVEMBER 10TH. Judging is easy! Previous experience as a judge is not needed. Judges will hear student presentations, ask questions, and evaluate student work using a provided rubric and a list of suggested questions. The time commitment will be about 1-2 hours. Please contact Kimberley Hackman, khackman@chatham.k12.nc.us, with questions about volunteering as a judge. You may sign up on our PTA’s website found here.
