WE NEED ALL PARENTS HELP………
Dear parents:
Many of you are aware that one of our third grade teachers, Mrs. Han, has been on maternity leave. In order to preserve continuity in the classroom, and maximize her students’ learning potential, she invested considerable time and foresight, in collaborating with a highly-qualified long-term substitute. In choosing Mrs. Hobi to temporarily-assume her roll in the classroom, she consciously selected a teacher who has worked full-time at our school (but was displaced due to budget-cuts), one who knows the curriculum, has taught Germain students for many years, and who has a personal investment in our school–and even has a child attending. Most importantly, she has worked this year, in collaboration with Mrs. Han, to assure a seamless transition for the students–one that would not interrupt their learning process.
With just a day’s notice, and roughly six weeks to Mrs. Han’s anticipated return, and just as students begin testing, LAUSD has unilaterally chosen to replace the substitute Mrs. Han chose for her students, with a teacher displaced from another school. With only a few weeks remaining, the district has chosen to override what is obviously in the best interest of the children, with their own bureaucratic interests.
The good news is, Germain families have spoken before, and forced the district to bend to the best interests of our children. We can do it again! But we don’t have much time. Even if your child is not directly affected — YET — please call, and email….
