Dear Parents and Students, 

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year! It is my goal to help your child be as successful as possible this year!  Together, I hope to form a productive partnership to ensure your student achieves his or her highest potential and all their learning goals.  Please feel free to visit our Class Website often for updated information and announcements.  

I am looking forward to meeting you at “Back to School Night” on Thursday, September 18, 2025.   Let’s work together to make this the best school year yet for your children! 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Emily Iannotta

If your family is experiencing difficulties at home, I would like to provide additional support at school.  If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning or weekend please text or email me ‘Handle with Care.’ Nothing else will be said or asked. This will let me know that your child may need extra time, patience or help during the day.

Lucy Calkins and her colleagues from the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project have extended their best selling writing workshop curriculum to the middle school grades. Like the K–5 Units of Study series, the middle school series not only provides a coherent, systematic curriculum in the three types of writing mandated by the Common Core—opinion/argument, information, and narrative writing—it also reflects the latest research on data-based, responsive instruction.
