PRINCIPAL'S SUMMER NEWSLETTER
Rees Elementary - July 26
August 1, 2017
I hope everyone is still enjoying some time away from school. I'm sure you all would agree that it is going by at warp speed. I returned last week from my time off to find a fully staffed school but later found out that by the end of the week we had three vacancies. Our new assistant principal, Donna Wong, was quick to get multiple candidates lined up for interviews this week. And, I am happy to report that we have found three really great candidates that will be joining our Rees team. In case you did not hear, Sara Ramirez was hired as a language arts content specialist at Hearne Elementary. Demetrius Smith has also resigned in order to move out of the Houston area to care for his mother in west Texas. And, our PPCD teacher transfer from Holmquist decided to transfer to Outley instead. I also feel very fortunate that Zaira Amaya will be returning to Rees as an interventionist and Maheen Virani will be returning as a third grade teacher.

Our initial staff gathering will be on Friday, August 11 at 8:00 AM. (Breakfast 7:30 AM) Please keep in mind that this is also "Meet the Teacher" day which is scheduled from 4:00-5:30 PM.
