Hello Parents and Students! Welcome to Mascoutah Middle School and to Team Hercules! I am so happy that you are here and I can’t wait to begin one of the best and most memorable years yet.
I am the social studies teacher on Team Hercules this year. This will be my twelfth year teaching and my fifth year at Mascoutah! I graduated from SIUE with my Bachelor’s in Education in 2012 and Rockford University with my Master’s in Instructional Strategies in 2019.
One main thing we will be focusing on this year (and every year!) is developing a growth mindset. It is important for my students to know that your mindset, your effort, and your successes are your choice. Every. Single. Day.
I hear that Team Hercules is a team full of hard working, risk taking, courageous learners and I am so eager to get to know you and to see you rise to the challenges this school year will present. This year will be one for the ages, and remember; if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Let’s have a fantastic year on Team Hercules!
Sincerely,
Ms. Erzinger
