Dear Parents/Guardians:
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as your child’s eighth grade Individuals & Society teacher at Locke Elementary School.
The goal of Locke Elementary School is to provide a quality education while promoting the development of students to become productive and responsible citizens. We are committed to fostering skills that lead to life-long learning. My philosophy as educator is the practice of teacher as facilitator, guiding students to explore and offering opportunities involving hands-on learning experiences.
I will strive to foster a classroom atmosphere of trust between teachers and students and students and peers. Building trust enables students to achieve their fullest potential in an atmosphere of belonging and security. I believe our teaching philosophy promotes critical thinking, positive decision-making and growth in positive self-esteem.
Your child’s quarterly evaluations are calculated based on his or her class work, projects, tests, quizzes, homework assignments, and class participation. Reporting to you is done via parent portal, report cards, parent-teacher conferences, telephone calls, returned papers, and agenda books. If you wish to discuss your child’s academic progress, please make an appointment via email.
