Welcome to my homework website.  I want to thank everyone that has been looking for this site for their patience as I have been working out the kinks with all of the wonderful new technology we have this year.  I am very happy to be here at Grissom and have the opportunity to teach the 6th grade Language Arts and Social Studies students.  Last year I taught over at Cousino and have had previous stops at North Star, Carter and Flynn having spent six of my nine teaching years at Carter Middle School. 

 

I want to know I feel parent contact is very important and make it a point to promptly return all emails and phone calls.  You can expect to hear from me within 24 hours of a message or email (assuming I am in school that day), if you do not something happened and it is likely I did not get your message please contact me by leaving a message with the main office. 

 

Below is the daily agenda that all of my students will be seeing in class.  You will notice that homework is marked on the agenda so they know what needs to be accomplished before class tomorrow.  Thank you for being an active participant in your child’s education.
