Friendly Reminders:
1. HOMEWORK in 6th grade is 10% of your overall grade. This rule applies to ALL of your classes. Failure to complete and turn in homework on the day it is due can impact your overall grade in a class. Please do your homework and turn it in on the day it is due. Parents, any support you can provide your child in this area is appreciated.
2. GRADES & HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS: You can access student grades and homework assignments via your computer at home. Please do this regularly.
3. STUDENT ABSENCES: If you know you are going to be absent from a class, please see the teacher ahead of time for any work. If you have an un-expected absence, then you need to see your teachers for the missed work, as soon as you return to school.

I started teaching in Montgomery County
at Blair, Eastern and Banneker, then completed my Sabbatical year at
Harvard, taking French, Spanish and Chinese. I remained in Massachusetts
and taught in Wayland and Brookline, then for the past 20 years have
been at the Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I am very
happy to be back in this area, I love it! I have lived and studied at
universities in Saint-Malo, France, Neuchatel, Switzerland and
Salamanca, Spain. My M.A. is from Tufts University. I love Pilates and Zumba dance fitness classes when I am not teaching French, Spanish or Health! One daughter
went to Harvard, then Oxford and my other daughter attended Georgetown
and now George Washington, both went on Spanish study abroad programs
like myself! I encourage all our students to learn more languages and about other cultures. It's fantastic!
