2010-2011 School Year Information
For the 2010-2011 school year we have a few changes in our faculty. Ms. Bielin and Mrs. Sandi will not be returning to Blessed Sacrament School this coming year. Mrs. Joan Callini will now be the Preschool 4yr old teacher along with her aides, Mrs. Nilda and Mrs. Ann. Miss Kim will be the aide for the 3yr old preschool program. We are in the process of hiring a teacher for the 3year old program. Mrs. Potishnak and Ms. Gaughan will be the first and third grade homeroom teachers while Mrs. Caproni will teach a daily section of Reading and Language Arts for grade 1 and Language Arts and Math for grade 3. Although first and third grade will have only one homeroom, in the areas of Reading, Language Arts and Math, it will be like having two separate classrooms for each of these grades. Mrs. Pueschel will teach 5th grade Math, Library for grades 1-4, and Enrichment for grades 1-6. Ms. Cavanaugh will be our new Technology and Remedial Education teacher for K-8. Seventh and Eighth grade students will not have Spanish, but will Home Ec/ Art with Mrs. Kane as well as an additional Technology class. We are focusing on writing throughout Blessed Sacrament School this year and students will have a weekly writing class. We will also be looking for singers to join us in the choir for our school masses too!
