Welcome to our classroom website!
I am so excited to be your child's Math and Science teacher this year! I know it will be fun with lots of learning and new adventures, and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for us. I have included some helpful websites here for you including a link to the Pelican homepage which has important information about our school.

Please keep in mind that the CLINIC does not provide a change of clothing in the event of an incident (accident, lunch spill, recess mishap...). Students are responsible for having their own change of clothing. May I suggest your child keeping their change of clothing in a bag at the bottom of their backpack/bookbag.
Parents are always welcome to join their child for LUNCH. However, we ask that you first sign in at the front office to get your visitor sticker and then you can meet your child in the cafeteria. Our lunch time is 10:10 - 10:35.
