About Me: I am so excited to start yet another year at Ocala. I've had the pleasure of teaching (7th &8th grade/AVID, L.A., S.S., and STEAM) at Ocala since 2004. I am a Portuguese immigrant who grew up in San Jose. I attended Burnett Middle School, San Jose High, and UC Davis. My husband and I have 3 wonderfully crazy children who keep us on our toes! I'm a fan of the S.F. Giants, the S.F. 49ers, and Benfica soccer team. I look forward to inspiring my students to become lifelong learners!
DISTANCE LEARNING UPDATES:
- * I have begun using Parent Square to communicate directly with parents. You are automatically signed up if the school has an email or phone number for you. Please notify me if you have not seen my message.
- *All agendas and assignments will be posted on Google Classroom. Grades will continue to be updated on HAC.
- *Here is my availability schedule. Starting 4/6, students are expected to participate in the weekly Zoom session for their specific class. Wednesday's 2-3 Zoom is optional. If you cannot make one, you must let me know ahead of time.
Suggestions:
- Suggested supplies for the school year: headphones or earbuds, binder, dividers, binder paper, notebook, post-its, highlighters, pencils with extra lead and/or sharpener, pens, markers, colored pencils
- Personal Email. While school provides your student with a Google account, the email feature is not activated. Having a working email will be very helpful.
- Check Home Access Center to see your child's grade. I will keep it as updated as possible.
- Ear buds or headphones will be helpful.
- Talk to your child about our school themes (empowerment, social justice, environment, and self-discovery).
- Encourage your child to read. I do not assign homework every day. If your child says s/he does not have homework, s/he should read.
- Do not hesitate to reach out to me. Email (dina.lopes@arusd.org) is the best option, but you may contact me via phone or set up an in-person meeting.
Here you will find weekly agendas and homework for all of my classes. I will do my best to stick to the dates on here, but sometimes lessons and projects take longer than expected. I will update as much as possible.
