Parent Coordinator - We’re thrilled to announce the hire of a new parent coordinator, Daniela Perez, of Compton, California. Daniela has been serving as the office manager of Excel Charter Academy, a brand new school in Los Angeles, and will start work at NYHS the week of May 14, 2007, upon completion of a BA in English education at California State Northridge and a move to NYC. If you know of anyone needing a roommate or of an affordable apartment, Daniela would really appreciate talking to you.
Teacher Recruiting - On Friday, April 13, from 1-3 p.m. we will have a recruiting event for a select group of applicants for teaching positions at NYHS in the fall. Please be prepared (thanks in advance) to have groups of applicants dropping by your classes to observe for a few minutes as part of a tour. Also, over the next month or so, Jen will be visiting classes with a variety of applicants at other times (particularly in Special Education, so CTT and self contained classes should expect frequent visits). Thanks very much for your cooperation. We’ll try to be as unobtrusive as possible.
