OP If there are only 4 8th graders, they might not have an 8th grade homeroom (since the teacher was not renewed) and have them be taught in a double grade type set-up. How that will work out with grades 5-8 changing classes,I don't know. How the other 3 teachers will find the time (or the interest)to prepare the science lessons, I don't know. This pa...See More

Kimberly I'm on my third Catholic school. My first was 16 years, then 1 year, then a year subbing, currently 5 and counting at my current school.

My first school - the faculty knew enrollment was down but we weren't in the loop about the sch...See More
