Be in the know! This website is for students and parents to get necessary information about our class. Students will join their Google Classroom at the beginning of the year and use that platform for turning in most assignments. Our website will be used in addition to Google Classroom.
Hi Everyone! I was born and raised in Santa Cruz and went to New Brighton Middle School 20+ years ago! I attended Cabrillo College, CSUMB, and USC and earned a degree in Mathematics and a Masters in Teaching. I was a preschool teacher for 10 years at Rocking Horse Ranch. This will be my 5th year teaching middle school and I am very passionate about what I do! When I am not teaching, I am spending time with my 8 year old daughter, husband (who is my high school sweetheart!), and my kitties, Bonnee and Clyde.
About Class Dojo:
ClassDojo is a school communication platform that teachers, and families use every day to build close-knit communities by sharing what’s being learned in the classroom through messages. Instant Private messaging is available between the teacher and parents, to ensure each student achieves success. Mass messaging (through "stories") keeps families informed about due dates, important events, and announcements for the class. This will be the main form of communication between teacher and families. Messages can be translated into 35 different languages.
This app builds positive classroom culture by encouraging life long skills and values that students engage in everyday in math class - things like creativity, teamwork, and persistence. Students and parents can see the progress made each day by the student and participation points will be earned through the app daily.
The Class Dojo App can be downloaded on your smart phone and you can choose to receive notifications of messages, stories, or your student's participation points. Or it can be accessed through the website: www.classdojo.com/
