New Teachers and Tenure Candidates
Bronxville welcomed ten new teachers this fall, in addition to a number of leave replacements and interns. The Teacher Center sponsored a two-day orientation program led by Center director Denise Lutter and mentors Frank Viggiani and Julia Brogan. The program encompassed district purpose and vision, technology, support services, a Village tour, as well as logistical assistance. Pictured at the right are Danielle Green, psychology intern; Jillian Tomlin, school psychologist; Megan Garcia, special education; Camille DiSalvo, grade 4; Lorraine Voytek, kindergarten; Marge White, kindergarten; Sarah Wolf, elementary music; and Karine Schaefer, HS English.
Tenure Candidates
Each fall the district publishes a list of tenure candidates and probationary candidates, inviting parents to participate in the process through written, signed letters. Comments and concerns should be addressed to the school principal. All such letters are shared with the teachers named, and are part of a comprehensive performance appraisal process that includes multiple observations and supervisory conferences. The 2009 list can be found here.
