i appreciate everyone help. sorry it take me so long to reply but it was crazy putting the kids down tonite.
ya know, i have thought about working at a pre school but i dont want to work with kids. if it come to that i could do it...just not ideal for me.
do it matter that i work with special needy children/studants? will finding a job be easier? that what i did...i assisted middle & high school studants in sped before i had my babby.
we have about 3000 per moth to spend in total. is that resonable for your area?! im still coming down with the kids in about 2 wks...we have nice cushion built up to live on until i find job. good idea, no?
sorry my poor typing skills..writing all this from my phone! :O
I was surprised to see three job openings for Teaching Assistant in SpEd as I thought I'd read in the newspaper recently that teaching assistant positions were being cut.
WCPSS: Openings (http://www.wcpss.net/perl/job_listings/job_lister.pl?position=Teacher%20Assistant - broken link)
As others have noted, just because a job is posted doesn't mean that it is available. Oftentimes, someone is already slotted for that position and the posting is merely a formality to satisfy legal requirements. Would urge you to hang on to your current TA job until you secure a position somewhere else. You never know.
As to places to stay, we stayed at Extended Stay Deluxe in Cary for about $2000/month recently. Room had a decent kitchen with a dishwasher and breakfast bar, roomy living area and two queen beds. It would be comfortable, if snug, for a mother and two children.
As to where your child will go to school, that's anybody's guess at this point. Check out the WCPSS Reassignment thread for more info on this.
One thing you may want to think about is your support system. Cary is a wonderful place but one thing it won't have is family and friends.
meh - i hope to my have laptop back tomorrow. the battery needed replacing. also SpEd is abbreviation special education. very fortunate since i have about 12 monts of savings plus misc. money. i dont want to use all of it obviousy. the plan is if i cant find job in 6 months i move back here.
pat - thx. that extended stay place sound nice but i was hopeing to find some thing cheaper to save monkey. snug is fine for us!
i really wish i had laptop so i explain everything to you! life has not ben ideal for us for long time but i truley want best for me kids now and a fresh starter maybe what we need now.
again sorry about spelling and stuff i cant help it cuz phone.
It's difficult to get in WCPSS as a TA. It took my son's preschool teacher a few years to get it. WCPSS isn't stable at all. I wouldn't advice moving here in hopes of getting a job there any time soon. Have you considered Johnston County? I've heard JC is great. I have an elementary school teacher friends that's there and she loves it. You should get online and start applying now and look for some places so you kinda know what to expect. I don't think you're going to find much in Cary if you have $3000/month total to spend. Garner and Wake Forest would be great alternatives. Good luck.
I dont think lateral entry will work for me right now. I am just a few credits short of a BA. Having 2 kids, moving to a new area, and going back to school is not a good combo!!
So I been thinking about substitute teaching or working at a pre-school. Although I like working with older kids and working with little kids is not ideal, if it pays the bills, than I am happy!
Does anyone have any info about Cary Pines apartments? They look nice and are in my price-range. I'll look at Wake Forest but i really like Cary and I feel it will be the best place for my family.
Also, realistically, how much winter stuff should I bring to NC?
I guess maybe it is the norm, but it depends on where you work. I actually get paid very well where I work at a small, private preschool. It was just a thought.
