New Staff / Staff Changes this Year

Nili Pearlmutter - Haggerty Math Coach
Hello Haggerty Community! My name is Nili Pearlmutter and I am the new Math Coach at Haggerty. In the past, I have worked in the Education Program at Brandeis University, as a Math Coach in Lowell, and, many years ago, as a teacher at the Cambridgeport School. Here at Haggerty, I work primarily with teachers to support and continuously improve our teaching of mathematics.  

Laurie Gaines - Haggerty Art Teacher
I started working at Haggerty preschool in the late 80s after returning as a Traveling Scholar from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Soon after my children started at Haggerty, I returned working here thru MCC & CAC grants as an Artist in Residence. I served as co-chair of the Haggerty Arts Council, a CitySprouts garden coordinator, and Haggerty Community school instructor before working full time in the classroom. I'm looking forward to combining all my artistic experiences into the Arts here.

Katlyn Kline - 2nd Grade Classroom Teacher
Katlyn was a long term substitute teacher in first grade last year and is so excited to be with us this year as a second grade teacher!

Maddie Fodero - Building Substitute
My Name is Madeline Fodero and I am the new Building Substitute. I Graduated from Wheelock College this May! 

Jillene Cadigan - Paraprofessional
This past August I received my Masters Degree from Wheelock College. During my graduate program last year I worked at the King Open School. I am very excited to be back at the Haggerty, the site of my undergraduate student teaching!

Tenzin Jampa - Technical Services
I am a graduate of CRLS and Cambridge College. Most recently I worked in IT at Cambridge College. I split my time between Haggerty and FMA.

I have worked in the Cambridge Schools for the last 4 years and I am excited to join the Haggerty! I will be splitting my time as the computer teacher between the Haggerty and the FMA.

Building Our Learning Culture through Literature
As part of the first six weeks of school, our classrooms are focused on creating positive learning communities. Many of these lessons focus on teaching persistence, learning how to initiate, and learning to ask for help. Read more >>

Welcome back to another school year! 

Haggerty Chorus 
Chorus is an optional, before school program that takes place on Tuesday and Friday mornings 7:30 - 8AM in the music room. Chorus is only for students in grades 3, 4, and 5. Chorus begins for the year on Tuesday, September 20 and continues for the rest of the year. We expect to have between 60 and 80 students rehearsing on the risers in the music room in the mornings – being respectful and ready to work is crucial! Students, please come ready to sing and learn new music. Talking while we sing is not an option. Read more >>
