Back-to-school excitement is buzzing through the hallways in Amherst. Outside an open house in matching shirts, Amherst teachers are making a statement.
Sonja Bobel and Arianna Jara are incoming fourth graders. They chose their desks and unpacked their glue sticks, crayons, and pencils. This year, they did all this without a teacher in the room. Their fourth-grade teacher left instructions on the board while they joined the others outside the school.
"They're outside, we still get to meet them, hang out with them, talk to them, so it still helps the kids because they're still getting to know teachers, get rid of the little first-day jitters," said Amber Cockayne, Arianna's mom. Walter G. Nord Principal Ashley Harigan said teachers are not contracted to work during the open house; being at the school is voluntary. But, on the first day of school on Wednesday, Aug. 23, Harigan said her teachers will be in their classrooms.
