She was so appreciative that I told her early because she DID have me scheduled to teach 6 classes of English II (the most high stakes course for the school). She agreed that I shouldn't teach it because it is a very stressful course for the teacher and kids so she is going to most likely move me to teaching English IV. Glad to have that taken care of :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157963 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 08:42:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2157963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would too and hope they really appreciate you telling them early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157959 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 08:39:02 +0000 bpcmarj 2157959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would tell them. At the school where I work (as an admin assistant) I know that they would really appreciate the advance notice for planning purposes/to line up a long term sub that will be able to actually teach your classes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157902 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 08:15:23 +0000 FaithFertility 2157902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: I told my administration rather early, I am a first grade teacher and there was a K student that they wanted to place with me based on his behavior episodes and such, I wanted them to know I was pregnant and taking 1/2 the year off before they made that choice, they were very responsive and happy I filled them in!<br /> Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157895 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 08:08:52 +0000 Mrs. Taco 2157895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @travellingbee: @FaithFertility: Thanks ladies! I'm going to tell them, I thought it was a good idea too but was unsure with how early I am :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157865 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:55:01 +0000 FaithFertility 2157865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a teacher too, I would tell administration and just tell them.... it is early and you know with testing you wanted to give them the heads up :) I think they will respect that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157855 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:42:09 +0000 travellingbee 2157855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd tell now. Just ask them to keep it private. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157854 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:41:40 +0000 lawbee11 2157854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would tell now if I were you. I know it's early and I'd be nervous, but I think it's best that they're able to plan accordingly like you said. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-telling-work#post-2157850 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:39:44 +0000 Mrs. Taco 2157850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently just over 6 weeks but I am trying to figure out when to tell work that I am pregnant. I am a HS teacher and for this pregnancy I will be out from Christmas break until the beginning of April when state testing begins....essentially I am missing one of the most important parts of the year (yeah I know, not the best timing!). </p> <p>In HS, there are more "important" years when it comes to state testing, for example, in 12th grade you don't even have a final but in 10th grade you MUST pass the exam to graduate. I don't want to be assigned to 10th grade next year (which I teach classes of this year) because I feel like it is a big disservice to my students. </p> <p>Right now administration is deciding who will teach what so I am tempted to let them know. That way, they can make the decision if they still want me to teach the "high stakes" courses....BUT it is still so early in my pregnancy. I already got my letter of intent for next year so my employment is secure, this is a matter of trying to do what is best for my school and students. </p> <p>So, would you tell your boss/administration even though it is so early? </p> <p>(Last time I waited until 12 weeks but if I wait that long, school will already be over!) </p>
