Meet Your TEACHER

I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I received a bachelors degree from Penn State University & am currently working on a Masters Degree from LSU. This is my 2nd year teaching at Central Middle.

School POLICIESOur school supports a Positive Behavior Incentive System.Students are rewarded for adhering to school guidelines regularly.

Classroom RULESBe on time.

Come to classprepared to learn.

3. Respect yourself & others.

Grading POLICYI utilize Standards Based Grading along with CMS regular grading policy.Students are graded on most work based on the standards (skill sets) they master.

A 100% Mastered skill, no errors B Mastered skill, few minor errors C Mostly Mastered skill, multiple minor errors NY (Not Yet) Skill not Mastered, major errors

Retake POLICYBecause students receive Not Yets instead of Ds or Fs, they are given a chance to improve their grades on assessments to increase their skill mastery.The student must bring a Retake Contract home to Parents for signature & initiate the process with the teacher. All requirements must be met before a retake can be scheduled.

Homework POLICYHomework is always ONLY an extension of what was not completed in class. Seldom will students have new material for homework (except in the case of Lesson Preview Videos).

Homework is graded by random selection. We spin a Homework Wheel to decide if it will be graded for Accuracy, Completion, Quiz, or Free Day. The Homework Grade is an average of all homework assignments for each quarter.

Social Media POLICYOur Classroom is centered around Social Media. We use any opportunity to integrate it into our learning. We may Tweet vocabulary, Snap Chat essential learning, or Instagram Real Life Math.

School SUPPLIESOur School Supply List had an error this year. Things like Kleenex, Paper Towels, Clorox Wipes, & Ziplock bags were listed as optional by mistake.

If youd like to grant some of our wishes, feel free to grab a sticky note with a wishlist item from the table by the door.
