Hello and welcome back to CCPS! I am excited to work with all of my favorite World Languages teachers. We bring the flavor and the fun to the classrooms while sharing our passion for language and culture with all of our fantastic language learners!

If you have a new department member at your school without email access yet, please make sure that they receive this information.

On Tuesday, July 29th, we will meet at Emory University's Carlos Museum for our Professional Development at 9:45 AM. There, we will spend the morning touring the museum and engaging in a lesson on object-based pedagogy using an object to discuss culture, geography, communication, and even empathy. 

If you want to ride a bus, please meet at Jackson Elementary (7711 Mt. Zion Blvd. Jonesboro) no later than 8:30 AM. If you want to meet us there, please do so by 9:45 AM. See the directions and parking info here. Lunch will be on your own in Emory Village. We will gather in the afternoon for a short introduction to departmental resources and activities for the 2025-2026 school year.
