"Learning begins at the end of our comfort zone."

We work hard, and we play hard. Together we help each other succeed.

Students

We are entering uncharted territory in education this year. I am confident that despite the social distancing challenges, we will become experts at turning lemons into lemonade. Please check out the student lounge to review our classroom rules, and expectations. Included are a few tips for succeeding in  middle school.

Parental support is an important component of student success.

Parents

Please check out the parent section of our website. Starting in September,  a monthly newsletter will be posted on the website. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. My contact information is at the bottom of each web page. Please download the beginning-of-the-year parent letter if you did not receive it. 

The kindness and support of my colleagues and teacher friends has inspired me to share my materials to help others succeed.

Teachers

 This year I have met many kind and gifted teachers in my school an on social media. Sharing ideas and problem-solving has been a lifesaver. It is key to any teacher's success. My resources are free for you to use in your classroom You may modify them to fit your classroom needs (nonprofit use only). Please credit the source.

Each month we celebrate one student who is a model student. Academics is important, but more importantly is work ethic, being kind toward others, and contributing to a positive learning environment. Check back each month to see who is being celebrated.
