Hello Families!

My name is Cassie Horton, and this is my fourth year working with Gayhead Elementary students.  While I am still new to the  school, I am not new to teaching or the Wappingers Central School District.  This year marks my 21st year in the profession; 12 of them as a reading interventionist and 4 as a technology integration specialist.  I am a National Board Certified Teacher in the area of Literacy Instruction, certified as a K-12 reading teacher, a Middle/High School English teacher, and an Educational Technology Specialist.  I bring all these skills to teaching your students and I am very much looking forward to supporting them as they grow their reading skills.

Here is a little personal information about me. I live in Red Hook, NY with my husband and 2 sons, Cooper and Sawyer.  Cooper is in the fifth grade and Sawyer just started UPre-K.  Both boys keep us busy!  

I encourage you to email if you have questions and I look forward to working cooperatively with you this year.
