Dear Parents,
After careful deliberation, it has been mutually decided that Christopher White will begin a leave from his teaching responsibilities as of Monday 19 April, using the remaining weeks of the term to concentrate on his future pursuits as an educator. On Monday, Andrea Sline (Hall) will assume the post of Sixth Grade Teacher. A meeting is scheduled for Monday evening, April 19th, at 7:00 PM in the Sixth Grade Classroom at which time we will answer any further questions you may have and provide you with an opportunity to meet Ms. Sline.
Changes of this kind prior to the end of the school year are difficult. We ask that Sixth Grade parents be particularly sensitive to your children and inform us of any difficulties with which we may be able to assist. The children hold Mr. White in high esteem, and they will need some time to process this change. As always, the children will look to you as parents, their role models, for appropriate ways in which to handle this transition.
As a Choir School community it is critical that we proceed with the utmost respect for all involved in this transition. Firstly, the Choir School recognizes that Mr. White is a highly capable educator and an excellent colleague, and we wish him only the best as he begins more serious pursuit of other educational opportunities. Secondly, we must recognize how challenging it will be for Ms. Sline to step in for these last seven weeks. In the weeks ahead, our community needs to show Ms. Sline extraordinary support for her work with our young people.
Please remember that it is critically important that you contact Mrs. McGill or me directly if you have any further questions or concerns. Change is always difficult, and it is a test of the quality of our community as to the manner in which we proceed.
I am grateful to you for your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Gregory Glenn
Pastoral Administrator
