Welcome to ELA class.  This is my 15th year teaching and my 15th year at Raymond K. Smith Middle School. I am looking forward to teaching your student. In addition to teaching 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts, I am a co-sponsor for our Jr. BETA club.

This year I will incorporate Google Classroom with our district provided Chromebooks. Google Classroom is a tool that allows me to post announcements and reminders for students. It also allows for class assignments and submissions to be to posted and collected digitally.

To access Google Classroom please use the following link https://classroom.google.com/ and have your child log into their Google account. Once logged in, you can review class announcements, assignments and course information. You can also view Google Docs from the “Google Classroom” link on the left side of the menu.
