Contact Miss Orsino

 Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s),

My name is Miss Alyssa Orsino and I am your child’s 5th grade ELA teacher! I cannot wait to see what this school year has in store for us. I am thrilled to learn all about your children, but first I would like to tell you a few things about myself. 

I was raised in Sauquoit, New York. After graduating high school at Sauquoit, I continued my education at Keuka College. I earned my degree in Unified Childhood Education with a concentration in Childhood and Family Studies. Prior to coming to Sauquoit, I taught 3rd and 4th grade in the Utica City School District for four years. 

I am currently engaged to my high school sweetheart, Kory. Together we are blessed with a newborn baby, Nora-Jane. We also have our adventure dog, Kolby. He is a German Wirehaired Pointer who we love very much. Some activities that I enjoy are reading to our sweet baby girl, coaching softball with my father, playing field hockey, and going for hikes with Nora-Jane and Kolby! 

One thing that I plan to emphasize this year inside of the classroom is kindness. We will be having an open discussion about what it is to be kind to one another, teachers, and ourselves. Fostering positive social habits, work ethics, and academic skills will assist students in learning content and succeed inside and outside of the classroom.
