Kevin Maxwell,
Superintendent: It's the first day for you to begin; it's
a new beginning for all of us and personally, I really appreciate
new beginnings. Opportunity knocks each and every day, not
just on the first day, though, and that's what we need to remember:
Andrea Mucci, Right
Start Program: The new teacher orientation is 3 days;
these Right Start Advisors counsel them; guide them; we get them
started by introducing them to Anne Arundel County Public School's
philosophy...
Justine Herzog, New
Teacher: Well I had to learn the procedures of Anne
Arundel County Public Schools, learn more about the curriculum that
I'll be teaching...
Erica Watts, New
Teacher: I'm excited to start my career as a new
teacher...
Geoff Turk, New
Teacher: And I'm looking forward to taking some of the
things that I've learned and adapting it, and trying to have a more
positive impact on the students here...
Tricia Johnson, Board
President: We've got a lot of new beginnings this year, a
new Superintendent, a new school year, a lot of new initiatives;
it'll be an exciting year for all of these new teachers...
Right Start Program:
One of the things that we know is that it's important for you all to
feel connected, and this is one of the times to help feel connected.
Tricia Johnson, Board
President: Welcome to them, and we look forward to a great
year!
