Background:

I am so thankful to be a part of the Montrose community for the 3rd year! Before joining the Bexley schools, I worked in Olentangy for 6 years as an Intervention Specialist. Prior to that, I worked at Nationwide Children's Hospital in the Center For Autism Spectrum Disorders as an ABA therapist for 3 years. 

Classroom Content Description

My job is to work collaboratively as an IEP member to provide instruction that is appropriate and meaningful for students in order to catch up to grade level expectations or another goal as set by the IEP team. 

Schedule Overview

For the 2016-2017 school year, I am in the building from 8:15-12:00. 

Parent Communications:  
I can be reached at the email address listed above.  Please allow 24 hours for me to get back to you.  If you send an email over the weekend, I will follow-up shortly after the weekend, or earlier if I’m available.  If at any time you would like to schedule an in person or a telephone conference call with me please let me know as we work together to organize a schedule.  

If there is something significant impacting your student's well being please consider letting me know so I can support your child at school.

Parents and Canvas: 
Please sign-up for a parent account into Canvas.  A parent/observer account will enable you to view resources and information on my classroom page. 

How to Sign-Up: Please use a desktop or laptop computer to sign-up initially, not a mobile device.  Go to the Canvas page (http://bexleyschools.instructure.com) click on Parent of a Canvas user.  Enter in the information asked for and then have your child enter in their Canvas/Network username and passcode.  Passcodes are unique to each student, this is why you’ll need your child with you when you initially setup your Canvas account or when adding another student.  An email will be set which you'll click in the finish the registration process.  Once you’re registered in the system you can add additional children under your Account, Settings, Observing.  Canvas provides you with one place to view and access course and classroom information across the multiple schools and classrooms.  Here is a website that describes the features available to the observer role.
