Important Information
- If you have not signed up for our "virtual" Quarterly Academic Conference please do. The link is on our symbaloo site. If you would prefer to meet in person please send me an email and I will see if we can schedule an in person conference.
- MANY items are due next Friday on 1/15. Please see the calendar below for important due dates. The Q2 work sample cover sheet is posted on symbaloo for your reference. You may turn things in early if you prefer and they are completed. Assignments need to be mailed to my home address arriving before their due dates.
- Work samples need to have the proper heading and the cover sheet completed. If they do not they will be returned to be revised and returned. Thank you for understanding. Samples can be found on the symbaloo page.
- The end of the semester is quickly approaching. If your student is behind in any subjects they are encouraged to catch up and complete those extra lessons between now and the end of the semester so their semester grades are not affected.
- I have a new phone number and a new address. My contact information above and my email signature have been updated to reflect the changes.
- Your kiddos are excited to be our Weekly Olympian. Please see Symbaloo to sign up if you haven't already!!!

About Me
This year marks my 1st year as a teacher with CAVA, and 5th year teaching overall. Prior to teaching here I worked for Capistrano Unified as an elementary school teacher. I also worked as an English Language Development Support Teacher for Vista Unified overseeing the ELD program at my school site. I have been married to my husband Matt, a firefighter for OCFA, for 17 years. We have two children. Ryan is 13 and Claire is 10. We live in Ladera Ranch. On the weekends you can find me on the soccer field watching my son play or at the pool watching my daughter compete in local swim meets. When we have a weekend free of sports you will usually find us at the beach! I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, running, riding my beach cruiser, and making digital scrapbooks with our family photos!
