What is my why? Becoming a teacher to me is more than just a job. It is a privilege, a mission, and responsibility. I believe that every student has the potential to become unique individuals. Especially in a world that is continuously changing. It is my goal to have students grow in all aspects to become successful in their lives and the world. Students need to be able to explore, build their knowledge, and experience higher active learning roles. As we grow as a team, I am sure we will be able to reach this goal and more.

Genesis is a way for students and parents to keep up with date with grades, attendance, and important information. All student’s grades will be posted on Genesis and by student ID in the classroom weekly. I encourage all students/parents to contact me if there are any questions or concerns about a student’s grade. I would recommend that students come during office hours. ***All students are responsible for their own grade*** I always strongly encourage students to talk to me if they have any questions.

Google Classroom Students will be using Google Classroom. Google classroom is a way for students and parents to keep up to date with assignments, homework, and important news/updates. Students should check into Google Classroom every day. Homework and assignments will be posted onto Google Classroom, with due dates, and students are expected to finish assignments posted on time. In order for students to access Google Classroom, students will need an access code. The codes for students to access their google classroom have been shown in class and are on my Teacher page.
