Big Welcome 2017-2018 & Week 1 Schedule

I am just getting ridiculously excited for the school year to begin. My focus this year is on helping each student reach their full potential and succeed--whether they are coming to me with learning disabilities or need advanced instruction. I've had the opportunity to learn a lot this summer and I'm so excited to share it with my students and put what I know into practice! This will be the first blog post this year, so I wanted to include some basic information from the first week of school.

Sign up for Remind 101! An easy way for me to text out important reminders to you! I encourage all parents and students to sign-up, these will be occasional reminders:)
