About Our Classroom

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year at Cove! We are looking forward to a successful year for your children with lots of new learning ahead! I have worked in special education for 17 years and began working at Cove School in 2008 after completing my Masters in Special Education/LBS-1 from Roosevelt University. I am pleased to say that Ms. Kriss Grove joins me again in my classroom as the instructional assistant - we teachers cannot say enough about how valuable our assistants are to the success of your children each and every day!

We have been busy with pre-assessments and annual testing that is mandatory as we determine the academic needs of your children. These assessments also assist us in determining the right placement for your child for reading and math. Information on curriculum will be shared more in depth during Parent Night/Open House, Thursday, September 12 (6:30-8:30 p.m.). This is a night for parents and guardians to visit Cove and get to know the teachers, related services specialists, and other staff your child may see during a typical week.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. It is best to reach me through my email address as I check it several times a day. We are looking forward to getting to know your children this year!
