I am so excited to be your child's Remote Learning teacher as we begin our new school year together!  I know this is a crazy time right now, but please know that I am here to help support you and your child in ANY way I can as we venture on this journey together.  I look forward to us working together virtually until we can one day be together again in person! 

My Remote Learning Office Hours:

Starting Monday, August 17th, my office hours will be Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:15 am- 3:30 pm. During this time, I will be available to answer any emails, phone calls, or to set up a separate Google Meet to conference one-on-one (if needed) to help answer any questions or concerns you may have.  All calls or emails received after 3:30pm will be returned as soon as possible the very next business day (and within 24 hours). 

Three very important upcoming dates to know:

1. Tuesday, August 11th (2:30-5:30 pm)- Teacher Drive Through Meet & Greets for 2nd and 4th Grade! Please plan to come by to pick up your child's technology and instructional resources they will need to prepare your child for success during Remote Learning at home.  Due to COVID-19 safety procedures, your family will need to stay in your vehicle as you drive through the line to receive your supplies and meet your teachers (yay!).  The pickup will take place on the bus ramp/car rider lane.

3. Monday, August 17th (7:45 am-2:15 pm)- Virtual Instruction will begin for our 1st Day of School!
