My school is closing

I can't believe this, but I just found out my school will not reopen in September. The faculty & parents were told yesterday & the kids were told today. I spent all day comforting crying students and dealing with all the anger, disbelief & tears while trying to deal with my own grief at the same time. I can't say this was TOTALLY unexpected on the part of the staff, but I never truly thought it would come to this. I am just going to miss the place so much.... I guess I haven't really processed the whole thing. It will probably happen slowly, over time. *Sigh*

So if anyone knows anything about openings for hs social studies, let me know Chat Icon

If your school closes doesn't the district or union help place you somewhere if you don't find something? I hope so for your sake!

Re: My school is closing

Thanks for the replies. It is a private school, and non-diocesan, so there are very few options. I am pregnant, and it will not affect me very much from a financial standpoint, but it just so sad, kwim?

And having to deal with the utter grief of so many students was just so incredibly heartbreaking.

One of the hardest parts of our job, I'm convinced, is helping students cope with grief, no matter what the reason for it. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: My school is closing

My HS closed my freshman year and it was tough to deal with. My teachers really helped us all get through it. It was a sad couple of weeks at first and then we all opted to go out with a bang and the remainder of the year was awesome!
