Dear Families:

Welcome to a new school year! I will be teaching intermediate first and second year social studies, science, and health. Your student will be rotating classes this year, so they will have me for those three subjects only. I will be teaching science and social studies Monday through Thursday, and health on Fridays.

I'm looking forward to an exciting school year!
