The best way to reach me is through ClassDojo. I check messages regularly during the school day and will respond as soon as I am able.
You may also contact me by email at alyssa.bernardone@aps.edu or by calling the school office at (505) 296-5655 and leaving a message.
For transportation changes, please contact the office directly so the change is received before dismissal.

📖 At-Home Learning

Students are encouraged to read for at least 30 minutes each night and record their reading in their reading log. In addition, students will receive a weekly homework packet to practice important skills learned in class.
Completed homework packets and reading logs earn classroom money and help students build responsibility and strong learning habits. Homework is expected each week unless otherwise communicated by the teacher.
