NEW BEES 

Welcome two new BEEs, Lauren Baber and Amy Howell. 

Lauren ( Lbb8th@virginia.edu ) will take over for Hannah All in 

kindergarten on January 21st. She will begin the transition on the 

15th. Lauren is very familiar with BES as she was Megan Sullivan’s 

intern this past fall. 

Amy Howell ( amh9gu@virginia.edu ) will cover 4th grade in the 

cottage for the next few weeks as she fills in for Nancy F. Amy is also 

not so new as she substituted in kindergarten a few days this fall. 

Lauren and Amy recently completed the certification requirements at the 

Curry School this past semester and we look forward to having them on 

our team for awhile. 

NEW CLASSROOM COVERAGE INCENTIVE FOR TEACHERS AND TA’S 

All, 

Here is some news about a new substitute/coverage incentive contract for 

teachers or teaching assistants that are interested and eligible. Some of the l

anguage may say, “Secondary” teachers, but it applies to elementary as well. 

Take a look. INCENTIVE CONTRACT
Teachers, email me if you are interested. We will place general information 

and contracts in Teaching Assistants’ mailboxes. 

Sub Incentive Pay Rates
per minute	$       0.20
per half hour	$       5.86
per hour	$    11.72
per half day	$    42.50
per whole day	$    85.00

Sub Placement Guidelines:

Teaching Assistants

• TAs should not be pulled from their classrooms more than 

4 times/semester. 

• Principals should spread the opportunities to substitute among 

all of the willing teaching assistants and avoid calling on the same/select 

group of TAs to substitute for absent teachers. 

• When possible, principals should utilize TAs to substitute for their 

specific teacher first before asking TAs to substitute for teachers in 

other classrooms.

Teachers

• Teachers should not substitute during school meetings 

(such as PLC, collab, department head, leadership, etc.).

• Secondary Teachers should not substitute more than two periods 

in a week.

• Elementary Teachers should not substitute more than two planning 

periods in a week.

When possible, teachers should substitute for other teachers in their department/grade 

level first before substituting for teachers in other departments/grade levels.
