General Information
Contacting Me
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me either by email or phone. Do not hesitate to get in touch! I am always happy to discuss your child's progress.
Extra Help
I am available before or after school to help my students any day except for Thursday. Students should let me know at least one day ahead of time for planning purposes.
Google Classroom
I use Google Classroom in my classes. My Google Classroom will be organized by week and include classwork, homework, and important resources. Guardians can use their child’s credentials to log in and see what is happening in our class.
SMS English/Language Arts
When students read, write, and think in the secondary English classroom, the opportunity for personal and academic growth is multi-faceted and vast. As an English Department, we aim to offer learning experiences for students that foster the development of many skills applicable to stepping outside of their Glastonbury classrooms into the real world. We also aim to be sensitive to any content in the literature we teach that may elicit unique and varied reader responses based on students’ experiences.
The SMS English / Language Arts Department whole-heartedly adheres to the philosophy stated on our district’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion webpage. We believe:
Every student should have an equal opportunity for success.
Every student needs to feel they belong, are understood, and are valued.
Every student has unique strengths and challenges
Every student should be kind, caring, and respectful to others.
