Grade 4 Staffing Notice

Grade 4 Staffing Notice

September 29, 2023

14 Tishrei, 5784

Dear Board and Staff,

The email below was sent to the Grade 4 families 15 minutes ago.

Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach,

Karen



Dear Grade 4 Families, 


Over the course of this week Morah Melissa has been dealing with a critical medical situation in her family. Next week, Morah Melissa will be absent from school to care for her husband. 


In her absence, Morah Jenni Saslove will be leading the Grade 4 Core class. Moreh Moshik will continue to teach Hebrew, Morah Brooke will be joined by Morah Ali Wolfond to provide resource support to the students.  


Morah Melissa has worked very closely with the school administration over the last few days to prepare excellent plans and resources for next week. Morah Jenni is an Ontario Certified Teacher and a regular supply teacher at Paul Penna DJDS. She is familiar with our routines and instructional methods and will be well supported by her colleagues and the administration. Jenni is able to teach the Grade 4 class beyond next week should that be what Melissa and her family require. 


We ask that during this time you give Melissa space and privacy. Any school emails can be directed to Morah Jenni at jsaslove@djds.ca or to Moreh Moshik (mgalanty@djds.ca). All logistical notes (late, early dismissal, change in dismissal plan) should be directed to Morah Karen in the office. Of course the school administration is always here to listen and help. 


I went to speak to the students today and shared with them that Jenni will be their teacher next week. I know you join me in wishing Melissa strength during this very difficult time. Hopefully she will be back in the classroom soon, able to share her educational talent with your children. 


Chag Sukkot Sameach, 

Principal Amy
