CHANGES AT ELIZABETH IDE

Grade Level Changes for 2008-2009
Next year we will begin our implementation of the RTI (Response to Intervention) state of Illinois initiative. This program is a general education initiative that is designed to offer all students interventions in reading and math to meet their diverse learning needs. The year 2008-2009 we will begin by implementing RTI in reading only. The changes that will take place will be explained at Kindergarten Orientation night and 1st and 2nd grade curriculum nights.
At this time, we have decided to move select teachers to different grade level assignments. Our new teaching teams are listed below:
Kindergarten - Mrs. Finn, Mrs. Kreps and Mrs. Mazurowski
1st Grade - Mrs. Amish, Mrs. Cornfield, Mrs. Hull, Mrs. Micetich, Mrs. Sis, Miss Tracy
2nd Grade - Mrs. Beseth, Mrs. Oliver, Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Onorato, Mrs. Schultz and
Mrs. Walega
Reading Specialists - Mrs. Daly and Mrs. Pellin
All of our teachers are very well-educated, professional and certified to teach all of the grades in our building. They will all receive training and support from their new teams and myself to make their transitions flow as smoothly as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 630-783-5200.
