Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year!
I am excited to begin my journey at All Saints Catholic School. I am originally from Columbia, Missouri and I went to the University of Kansas for my degree in Elementary Education. Before coming to Wichita, I was teaching first and second grade in Michigan. My husband, Dylan, and I moved to Wichita this summer. He just graduated from medical school and matched here for his four year residency.
Throughout the year I aim to support each student and challenge his or her specific needs. I hope to get your students learning in new and exciting ways, in all areas of the curriculum. Students will be attending PE, Art, Music, Judo, Technology, and Library each week.
Students will have homework most nights Monday-Thursday. This will consist of short math, spelling, or reading assignments. I aim to send homework the students can independently do. The homework is to show me what the students can do on their own, while reinforcing responsibility of work completion. Please encourage your student to look for and complete the homework each night. If they are struggling with a particular assignment, do not spend hours stressing over it. Simply write me a note explaining, and I will help your child the next day.
Each student has a blue “take home folder.” This folder will come home and back to school every day. Please anticipate seeing these folders and watch for important information. I will also be checking these folders daily. I will send home weekly Friday letters informing you about the upcoming week. Additionally, we will use their planners daily. Check them regularly for notes and updates on class.
I will be communicating by email, please make sure I have your most current email on file. Please feel free to email me with any comments, questions, or concerns. I encourage parents and families to be involved throughout the year and I thank you for your support!
