Important notes about my classroom:
As an 8th grade teacher, one of my priorities is to help prepare students for high school and beyond! With that in mind, I cultivate a classroom culture that encourages engagement, participation, self-regulation, hard work and fun! We don't give up when things get hard, we develop the grit to push through! I look forward to partnering with families to help all students to be successful in the classroom!
I send regular emails through the skyward system to update you on our classroom so please make sure the appropriate email addresses are updated through the Skyward parent portal. Contact information: My conference period is 2nd period from 8:50-9:45. Please make an appointment in advance by emailing so that I can ensure that I can take your call. We are often in meetings during our conference. You are also welcome to email me anytime my goal is to respond to all emails in a timely manner. Grades are updated weekly, usually on Wednesdays. If a student turns in an assignment late, it will be graded in the next week's batch.
