Admin staffing news
We are thrilled to share that our Registrar, Victoria Little, is preparing to welcome her first child in early February. We wish Victoria and her husband, Kyle, so much joy in this exciting next chapter of their story.
With Victoria embarking on a Parental Leave, the Admin team welcomes Jennifer Rayman (pictured) back to the office. Jennifer has been an integral team member over the past few years, stepping in to cover the Executive Assistant role in the office as well as substituting in the classroom. She has a great understanding of the school at all levels from the parent perspective; her two sons have graduated from MA, and her daughter is currently in Lower Elementary. She also recently completed her Montessori Elementary Assistant training.
Jennifer has been training with Victoria on the Registrar’s duties, including supporting current families through re-enrolment and guiding new families through the registration process. Welcome back, Jennifer!
