I will put forth my best effort to ensure each child is adequately challenged and receives the help he/she may need. I hope to leave my students with the encouragement and motivation to go on to become anything they are willing to work towards, regardless the hardships they may face.

Contact Me
Feel free to contact me by phone or email; however, the attached form will explain a new PTS program I am implementing. This parent-teacher-student program will be a mobile application (you can also access on desktop) to keep everyone informed about academic progress as well as general and important information. The sheet tells you how to find the application and the login code to get connected! I encourage you all to take advantage of this program.
