Staff changes for 2015/16

A few staff changes occurred during the summer. Please help us in thanking those who have left us and welcoming those new to Tennyson.

Au revoir Mme Mimi our secretary. Mme Mimi accepted a position at L’Ecole Bilingue as the secretary there retired at the end of June. We wish to thank Mme Mimi for all her hard work during her year at Tennyson.

Welcome back Mme Wong, who is returning to Tennyson for the third time as secretary. She previously had temporary contracts at Tennyson and now has a continuing contract with us. Bravo! We are thrilled that Mme Wong was able to return to Tennyson.

Congratulations to M. Sylvain who was appointed Vice-Principal with the Francophone school district. We are very sad to be losing M. Sylvain but are happy for him as he embarks on this new adventure. We wish to thank M. Sylvain for all he has done for his students and for Tennyson. He contributed to our community for the well-being of our students in so many ways, and will be missed by us all. Good luck M. Sylvain!

Goodbye to Mme Carolyn our SSA- Student Support Worker, who worked with many classes over her two years with us. Mme Carolyn will be moving on to Mckecknie School where her skills are most needed. We wish to thank her for all her work and great care with our students. Mme Carolyn’s position has not yet been filled. A substitute SSA will be at Tennyson in the interim.

Mme Mac, our half-time SSA, is also leaving, as some of the students she was working with have left Tennyson. Thank you Mme Mac and all the best in your new school.

Unfortunately, Mme Rouleau, nor Mme Halowaty will be returning in September. We are unsure of their return dates at this time but will be keeping their classes updated.
