    2023-2024 School Year
     
         To begin, I am thrilled to begin my eighth year with the HLS sixth grade team!  I'm also happy to be teaching both social studies and science! My classes will work hard to engage and master the AZ College and Career Readiness Standards from day one. We will be using Canvas, the Smartboard, my lab equipment and their chromebooks. Please sign up to be an observer on your student's Canvas account.  You can observe what work they have completed or need to complete before that information even transfers over to Powerschools. 
     
         Remember, not everyone masters every concept right away, but everyone can if provided the support and the encouragement they need to succeed. Middle school is only a year away so let's get ready for a successful transition.  I do look forward to working with each of you!
