     Welcome to Kindergarten.  It will be an exciting year filled with many wonderful learning experiences.  I have been teaching for Prince William County Public Schools since 1993 and am certified to teach regular education K-3, specific learning disabilities, and psychology.  My educational background includes a master's degree in counseling from the College of William and Mary and a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in special education from James Madison University.  I completed additional coursework at George Mason University to obtain my teaching certification.   I am dedicated to ensuring your kindergarten student has a positive educational experience and loves school! Please contact me should you ever have any questions or concerns about our classroom.  I appreciate your support and input.  

     Mrs. Rosa Febus is our classroom Instructional Assistant.  We both provide small group instruction to students and work together to create a happy and engaging classroom environment.  Mrs. Febus is fluent in Spanish and can assist with communication as needed. 

Class Vision: We will S.O.A.R. like eagles and explore our world.

Class Mission: We will explore our world by reading, writing, asking questions, and solving problems.
