Hello, Goodbye!

 

I wanted to let you know that Sheila Montri’s last day at Keystone is next Wednesday, February 3.  Sheila has been a part of the Keystone family for a long time, but she wants to spend more of her time caring for her personal family now.  As many of you know, Sheila drives almost an hour each way for her daily commute.  It is for this reason; she has decided to accept a position closer to her home.  In saving an hour a day in driving it will give her more time to care for the medical needs of her family. While we will miss her, we understand her need to prioritize her family’s health. We appreciate Sheila being transparent and working with the admin team during this entire process. We have known about this for a while but refrained from sharing with the staff because we didn’t want the information to leak to the Kindergarten families until we secured her replacement to ensure a smooth transition for those students (you know I love to have a master plan before I reveal things). We would also like to wish Laura Dean well as she has decided to resign with Sheila to spend more time at home. We appreciate everything that she has done for Keystone the last 8 ½ years.

In saying all that, I would like to welcome Jessica Walczak as our new kindergarten teacher. Jessica has many years of experience as a preschool teacher. Her tentative start date is next Tuesday, February 2. Lisa Heringhausen will become Jessica’s para to assist her in this new role. Thank you, Lisa, for offering your support.
