Meet Mrs. Russo

Hello! My name is Mrs. Russo, and I will be your child's third grade teacher this year. I am very excited to get to know you and your child this year!

I am a graduate of Baldwin Wallace University with a dual license in Early Childhood Education and Mild/Moderate Special Education. I also have a Reading Specialist license (K-12), as well as a Master's Degree in Educational Technology.

I have taught third grade at John F. Kennedy Catholic Schools, special education (K-3) at Hubbard Exempted Village Schools, and special education (3-4) at Maplewood Schools. This will be my 11th year in education, and my fifth year at Maplewood!

I currently live in Howland with my husband, Chris, and our three fur babies; Cleo, Bows, and Lola. When I am not at school, I like to spend time with my family, cheer on the Packers with my husband, drink Starbucks, read books, and go shopping!

Remind

Messaging App

This secure app allows you and your child's teacher to message directly through a private messaging app. There are two easy ways to message: via the app, or using a secure desktop web browser.

If you are new to Remind, please follow the step-by-step instructions below to get your account set up!

Step 1: Set up your parent account

If your school decides to create accounts for students and parents, you need to check your email on file with the school for instructions on how to log in and claim your account, and then view your classes.

Access my parent account

Otherwise, log in to your current Remind account or create a new account if you don't have one already. As a parent, your account will be separate from your child’s account, so be sure to put in your own name and details when creating your account.

Step 2: Notification preferences and account settings

Once you’ve logged in, navigate to your account settings to choose how you’d like to receive message notifications: via your email, SMS text, or through the Remind app.

Set your personal notification preferences

Now that you’ve chosen how to receive messages through Remind, take some time to confirm your profile settings (inside your account settings) are as intended.

Step 3: Join classes

Joining classes takes just a few minutes. If your school is creating Remind accounts for students and parents, keep an eye out for an email about your account—you’ll be added into your classes automatically. Otherwise, there are a few other ways to join classes.

Step 4: Send and receive messages

Now that you have your classes set up, you’re ready to send out your first message! When you want to create a new message, use the composer.
