sonia schanckprincipal clerk - main officeI have worked as the Principal Clerk of Kiley for 15 years. My major job responsibility is Payroll and Front Office. I have served under four wonderful Principals, and each have brought their own special pizazz to Kiley. Great customer service has always been my driving force. I genuinely enjoy helping people!
Born and raised in Springfield, MA I have two lovely daughters who have graduated from SPS and now my granddaughter will be starting in an Elementary School in Springfield. In my down time I love to read, go to outdoor concerts, and watch my chunky grandbabies. Please do not hesitate to see me if you have questions about office procedures or more importantly, your paycheck. I hope everyone has a phenomenal year! |
