CLASSROOM AND ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS

MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR CLASSROOM

I love teaching, and I am truly honored to

be your child’s teacher. I am CERTAIN every child can learn. My first priorities as an educator are to

teach your child to be brave and to be

kind, and to instill in them the LOVE of

learning. I believe there must be joy in the

classroom.
