We will continue to use the NYS Common Core ELA modules to meet standards and goals. Your child should bring the module books to class daily. IR (Independent reading) will happen online via readworks.org and or Commonlit.org or sometimes physical worksheets. IR is assigned every Monday and due every Friday. No lates will be accepted for IR. We will use the EPIC app, Quizziz, and other online study platforms in this class. Iready is assigned every Monday and due every Sunday (30 minutes plus one passed lesson). No late iready work is accepted.

My classroom is room 3 in the high school. Please feel free to see me for any questions or concerns. I will be available both before and after school by appointment. Please utilize my website GC links for the nightly homework, test and quiz information, and important information for your class. Parents and guardians, please email me or call me for any questions or concerns. My extension for the new classroom phone is 6022 (subject to change since my room changed last year). Remind will be used as well as Google classroom! Please utilize those platforms to communicate and gain information. You can also reach me via Parent Square (which is new this year coming from the district).

On a personal note, I live in Pleasant Valley with my adopted dog, Zorro! My hobbies include cooking, baking, reading, and swimming, and walking with Zorro and taking him for rides and to events and shopping!

Here’s to a great year! I look forward to working with the students and families to help all students achieve success!
