My experience I’ve been teaching for 11 years, all here at Kings Highway. I have also taught 2/3 and 4/5 Varying Exceptionalities class, but third grade STARS is my favorite.

I will assign about 45 minutes of homework every night. This includes 20 minutes of reading. Please check all homework and sign and return the agenda, everyday. If you would like to write to me in the agenda, this proves to be a very nice way to communicate, because I look at this every morning. You can also reach me on my cell phone between the hours of 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Tardiness The first bell rings at 7:35 A.M. School starts at promptly at 7:45 A.M. If you aren’t in the classroom by the time the second bell rings, please check in at the school office before coming to class. Tardies: All tardies are reported to the office on a daily basis. Excessive tardies are turned into the state for further review.

Absences If your child is absent please send a note in with your child when he/she returns to school. If your child is absent more than three days please send in a doctor’s note. Your child is responsible for getting and returning all make-up work. All absences that are unaccompanied by a note from the parent, are considered unexcused.

Classroom Community Our classroom is a community. In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other. Our class rules are: Be respectful and responsible. Be organized and follow directions. Be on time. Be prepared.
