About me
I am starting my 11th year of teaching, with this being my fourth at Coosa High School. I graduated from Valdosta State University in 2009 with my Bachelors in English and 2010 with my Masters in the Art of Teaching. In 2024 I completed my Specialist degree in Secondary and Middle School Education. I have received my Reading Endorsement, Teaching Online Endorsement, and Gifted Endorsement.

-Is tutoring available?
Yes, Mondays and Wednesdays after school from 3:20-4:20. Students MUST email me 24 hours in advanced to ensure that I am staying. Students may stay after with other teachers on other days of the week (including morning times and even later in the afternoon). Rides must be prompt for pick up.
-What is my student's grade?
I keep PowerSchool up to date. Larger assignments, tests, and projects may take me longer to grade. However, shortly after the assignment is due I will put in a 0 if a student has not turned the assignment in.
-Can my student turn in late work?
Within a reasonable amount of time and if there is a valid reason that the word is untimely. However, late work will have points deducted.
Steps to turn in late work:
1. Turn in paper copy or submit via Google Classroom.
2. Students need to send me an EMAIL telling me the name of the assignment and that it is late.
*Without the email I will not know that they turned in something electronically and it notifies me that I need to grade their late work if a paper copy is submitted*
-HELP?!?!
As a parent, you are not sitting in my classroom every day nor have you taken high school English in {insert # of years here}. Not only that, but technology has changed at such a rapid pace that it's difficult to keep on top of it all. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, PLEASE email me or contact me via Parent Square and give me 48 hours to respond (I'm usually pretty quick with responses). Please don't hesitate to contact me.
