A note from Sister Marie Isaac, OP:
I’m writing today to give you an update on our staffing here at St. Vincent de Paul. We filled three positions recently and I’d like to welcome the following people to our school community:
- Montessori Preschool Assistant – Mrs. Sue Csatar-Green will assist Mrs. Salazar on a daily basis in the Montessori classroom. Her experience with her own children in a Montessori classroom and several years of volunteering makes her very excited to join our community.
- Reading Intervention Specialist – Mrs. Marita Guardione will join us three days a week to work with our Kindergarten through 3rd grade students who need additional support in Reading. She will work closely with Mrs. Foresman to provide interventions and scaffolding in identified areas and provide feedback to our teachers. Mrs. Guardione brings a wide experience of reading intervention with her from her time as a classroom teacher, tutor and special education teacher.
- Middle School Math and 6th grade Homeroom teacher – Mr. A. Paris Wahabby will be assuming the Homeroom and Math teaching responsibilities beginning next week. Mr. Wahabby comes to us from substituting in the Denver Public School for the past 4 years and a college professor of Math and Physics in Denver area colleges for the past 20 years.
Next week, we also welcome back Mrs. Sullivan from Maternity leave. She’ll be resuming her teaching responsibilities in Computer and continuing to provide support in the 8th grade high school application process. Since she is very familiar with our middle school Math program, she will also be providing support to Mr. Wahabby during the transition time.
Parent/Teacher Conferences: Thank you for taking the time to meet with our teacher’s about your child(ren)’s progress so far this year. We are happy to support the education of your child(ren).
Have a blessed evening.
