• Communication:

Communication between parents, school, and teacher is of the utmost importance. Each child has a planner that is filled out at school on a daily basis. Your child’s homework along with any other critical information is passed on in the planner along with emails home from me. Please be sure to read your child’s planner each day and check your email. Parent newsletters come home once a week via email.

Parents are always welcome to help in the classroom with prior notice, and remember, approval by the district is required every other year. If you would like to volunteer either in the classroom or on field trips, you may pick up a form in the office.

• A little information about me:

When I first graduated from college, my husband and I entered the Air Force as officers. I spent 8 years on active duty and in the reserves as a Transportation Officer. My second career was raising two children to middle school age before entering my third career as a teacher. I began teaching 15 years ago in Oak Harbor, Washington then on to Washougal and seven years ago I arrived at Helen Baller in Camas.
