WCS WELCOMES NEW HIRES


New teacher Cara Ellis listens as Staffing Specialist Linda Marlin goes over some of the paperwork.

Dozens of newly-hired employees were introduced to the Williamson County school district June 10.  The educators gathered at the central office for the first New Teacher Orientation of the upcoming school year.

The experience gives new employees a chance to learn about everything from health insurance to risk management.  "The new teachers attend the four hour orientation to learn about important district policies," says Human Resource Director Judith Looney.  "Additionally, they spend time learning about rights and benefits, and meeting with members of the WCS Payroll staff."

Sara Rothlisberger was among the new teachers at the June 10 meeting.  This fall, she will begin her first year as a full-time English teacher at Independence High School.  "I am super excited," says Rothlisberger.  "I'm starting to get a little nervous but mostly I'm excited about meeting the students."  Rothlisberger says she found the New Teacher Orientation to be very helpful.  "We went over everything we need to know," says Rothlisberger.  "They were able to answer a lot of the questions that I had."

The June 10 session was the first of several orientation sessions to be held throughout the summer.  The WCS Human Resource Department will also host several training sessions for substitute teachers as well.
