Welcome Back!

 “For all students to excel, teachers must learn about them and connect with each child. This is not just about finding out how they learn, but it is finding out who they are.” ~George Couros~


Ring! Ring! Ring! School is back in session! As you welcome new students into the classroom, taking time to create relationships and getting to know your students is imperative. Developing relationships sets the stage for learning to happen and risks to take place. With that being said, we want you all to learn more about us as we partner together this school year!


We are here to support you,

Brittany, Denetra, & Kathryn
