I keep thinking there are a lot of us whenever someone does a poll. Have you all been enjoying your summer so far? When is everyone going back to work?

Re: TTCAL Teachers - Come in!
I count right?? As a substitute??
We don't start here for another month. I think September 7th is the first day. I'm thinking i'll get my first call in the middle of September. I hope. I need to monies!!!

Wow - that seems so early to me, but I know there are other districts starting around this time. Schools in the city I live in go back tomorrow. My district doesn't start until the 22. I'm going to savor every last second of vacation!

This school year we got out June 26th (I think).
I'm hoping for a long term spot! I just wish I personally knew someone who was going out for some reason or another. That really seems to be the only way to get a position, to know the principal or teacher well enough that they request you.

I go back on-contract on MONDAY! Ahhhh!!!!!!! The kids don't come back until the 22nd, though.
My summer has been okay.. but our D&C was June 1st.. and STILL have not had AF since... so I really wished summer away every day, praying AF would come soon. I feel like it was kind of wasted. We didn't go on a vacation or anything. We did get new kitchen counter tops though!!

My first teacher work day is supposedly the 31st, although who knows what will happen. The state voted that teachers are taking a 1.9% pay cut, but we are technically under contract with the district for our original promised pay (well, aside from the promised cost of living increases that we haven't had for the past 4 years or money promised to keep class sizes under 30 kids in elementary... but that's a whole different story!). Our union is meeting this week to see if the 31st and 1st will be furlough days. The first day is scheduled to be the 7th.
What's a tad annoying is that they know teachers will work those "furlough" days anyways. It's not like we can just show up the first day of school and start teaching, you know? I need to set up my classroom, etc, and the furlough teacher work days. The other work days before school are for meetings and trainings, and those (unfortunately) never get cut.
I'm dreading going back, to be honest. I thought for sure I would be pregnant, or that I would be out on maternity leave for a good chunk of the year. Guess not. Oh well, it will be ok. At least my mortal work enemy will be on maternity leave, so that's a bonus!
FX that you get a long-term spot! And it's that way in my district too - it's all about who you know.

I'm not a teacher yet
But wanted to say HI FIVE to us. I am going back in the Fall to complete my teacher certification in art education. Just being an artist is awesome, but I decided I need another option, too much pressure on DH to pay the bills while I'm painting away .....
I hope everyone enjoys their few remaining and fleeting moments of Summer.

*whining, pouting and stomping my feet* This is my last week!!!! We report Monday and the kids come on the 22nd.
I really had a great summer though. I don't do summer school anyway (tried it one year and realized I had been right allll those other summers that I didn't do it!), but I usually get some part-time job each summer. This year I.did.nothing. It was awesome.
Still sad that it's already time to go back.

I hope AF shows for you soon! New kitchen counter tops are exciting! We went to Disneyland for a few days in June and we're heading to the coast this weekend for our anniversary. No big vacations for us this summer. I've just mostly been sitting at home. I did clean out our closet and partially redecorate our bedroom though.

I hear you! I did summer school one year, and while the money was AWESOME, I felt like I didn't get any break. I have done teacher trainings in the past also, and last year I was working full-time on my Masters. This is the first summer I haven't done anything, and I must say it has been thoroughly enjoyable.

This was the first summer I did nothing as well!! It has been awesome!! But the money thing sucks.

My summer has been ok. I taught summer school until last week, so I'm trying to enjoy having a couple of weeks to myself before heading back. We go back on the 24th, with kids returning on the 31st.
I love my job, but I will miss reading all day and not caring what time the clock says.

My summer has been pretty good, although since we moved into a brand new school for this year the last two weeks I spent a lot of time unpacking and organizing my classroom.
I am planning on going in 2-3 days the week of Aug. 22-26 because I still have to decorate the walls and bulletin boards in the classroom and I have to be back on August 29 for teacher in-service, we have 4 days of in-service.
The kids first day is Tuesday, Sept. 6.

I never knew we had so many teachers on the board!!! That is awesome!!
Unfortunately, we found out on June 9th about Rango, and I've been out of school since then. Our last day was the 20th, and since i was non-renewed anyway, i just didn't go back. physically i could have, but emotionally it would have been too hard with the students and staff and saying goodbye on top of it all.
so i don't feel like i had a good summer. i even told DH tonight that this summer just sucked. no matter what i tried to do with our family, it just sucked. oh well. hopefully next summer it will be better. i'm trying to plan a vaca to universal where we promised to take the dds if they watched all the harry potter movies (they are on number 6!).
i got a short term contract at the first district i worked in. i have to go on the 22nd for orientation, even though i worked there for 5 years and have been gone 3. but we don't officially start until the 1st, and the students start the tuesday after labor day. i can't believe how many people are going back to soon already!

My summer has been kind of an emotional roller coaster. I lost my son in April, and went back to work 2 weeks later since summer break was only a few weeks away. So it has been a time of grieving and healing. There have been some high points though.
I have inservice all this week, and the kids' first day is next Wednesday!
I don't feel ready at all!

Hi!
I'm actually a preschool teacher. We officially go back August 25th and in service is on the 26th. My kids don't start til the 9th of September though. We use that week for home visits, paperwork, and preparing our classroom. We also have a staggered start so only half the kids come one day and half come the next. That makes it SOO nice.
