Parents
Hey parents! Welcome to your page. Check out some of the resources I've got below for you!
Teaching Philosophy
My classroom is dedicated to inclusivity, comfortability, and growth. I'm a strong believer in fostering creativity and ensuring that students grow not only academically, but as a person. It is my hope to help students love literature and writing just as much as I do, while also helping them develop skills they'll need for the future. I hope your student enjoys my class, and I look forward to getting to know them!

What You Need to Know About My Classroom
Here are a few classroom policies you need to know about:
-
Homework is always assigned several nights before it is due, so that students may have enough time to complete it.
-
I will do anything I can to support students, even if this means giving them accommodations through parental guidance.
-
Have students let me know if they're going to be absent – I want to ensure they don't fall behind!
-
Your student's learning is what is most important – not grades. Have your student let me know if they need support!
