It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Laura Adams Boycourt, middle school Language Artsteacher, will be resigning from The Williams School at the end of this calendar year. Lauras husband,Navy CDR Steve Boycourt, is being transferred to Fort Belvoir and they will be establishing their homein the Northern Virginia/Maryland area. Laura was also excited to announce that she is expecting theirfirst child in April. This move will allow them to be closer to their respective families. Laura has been atrue asset during her time at The Williams School. Her understanding of the English curriculum,

engagement of students in the instructional process, and willingness to support extra-curricular activitieshas added to the success of the overall school program. Her last day on staff will be December 19. Shewill be missed.

The administration will begin working immediately on filling this teaching position. Our schedule willinclude indentifying and interviewing possible candidates during the month of October, selecting andoffering the position to the successful individual in November, and bringing the new teacher on board thefirst part of December to work with Ms. Boycourt. This process will help ensure a seamless transition forour students.

We appreciate your support as we go through this process. We look forward to your thoughts and

comments in this regard.
