Staff changes.  In the coming weeks, I will share the names of the new teachers who will replace our leaving staff. Let’s concentrate on celebrating the staff who have worked with us before considering their replacements.

• Retiring
  • Music Teacher Rhonda Juliano
  • 8^th Grade Science/Math Laurie Sukola
  • Elementary Reading Support Specialist Suzanne Stewart
• Resigning for other endeavors
  • 7^th Grade Science/Math Sarah Taylor
  • Children’s House Teacher Kelly Turpen-Adamson
• Leaving without a continuing position to fill
  • Lower Elementary Teacher Joelle Cowan, who held a leave replacement position for this year. TPS is seeing a reduction in student enrollment, and only staff with continuing contracts have been retained.
• Each of these vacancies is important for us to fill well.
• Note: Lower El Teachers Serina Spain Greene, Sarah Renfro and Savannah McClellan will continue at Bryant next year.
