Monthly Employee Spotlight: Donna Colletti

Donna Colletti is a Math and Technology Coach at William Tennent High School and has been with the District for several years.

The teachers at Centennial are so fortunate to have Donna as an instructional coach. Whether you catch Donna at the copier or view one of her training videos, Donna is a wealth of knowledge and she's always willing to step in and lend a hand. During the pandemic, Donna put in many extra hours to be sure teachers had the training necessary to deliver a virtual curriculum. During hybrid learning, Donna has visited classrooms in multiple buildings as well as virtually to model lessons and assist with the implementation of the new math program. Best of all, she always has a smile on her face!

Donna, thank you for all that you do! We will be sure to deliver your award certificate and Chick-Fil-A gift card!

COVID-19 updates and reminders:

We would like to thank our partners Rite Aid Pharmacy and AMI Services for providing us with five successful vaccination clinics. We were able to provide approximately 600 vaccines to students, staff and family members. The case numbers have gone down and we continue to monitor Covid 19 in partnership with the Bucks County Department of Health. We will be working on updating the current CSD Health and Safety Plan for the upcoming school year. Thank you all for your patience and support during this challenging school year.
