Teachers, when do you head back?
We have development days Thursday and Friday of this week, and then students come on Monday the 15th. The summer flew by!
Re: Teachers, when do you head back?
New teachers come tomorrow, I think. I go back for meetings on the 11th, 12th, and 16th. Schedule pick up day (required to work) is the 15th. Kids come for class the 17th.
I've been going up since last week to get things in order. It takes awhile to prep for 5-6 classes.
Aww, that's so great you can do that! Enjoy your time at home
I can imagine. I only have two preps, thankfully. Hope it's a good year for you! I spent some time up at school rearranging my classroom Saturday (well, directing DH) and will go up for a bit on Wednesday, too, before all our faculty converge on the copy machine!
Thanks! I think it will be a good year. I've got good classes, and a lot of students in beginning journalism so maybe I can convince some of them to come over to the dark side...the media lol.
I'm like your coworker. I have less than three weeks sick leave accrued, due to various illnesses and surgeries I had while working in my district. Oh well! We knew I wouldn't have a "paid" leave anytime in the next few years because I always end up having to use sick leave. I'm just thrilled that I'll have summer with this baby.
I agree, lots of people think teachers must get amazing maternity benefits. Simply not true!
