I will be your child’s English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teacher for the 2025-2026 school year, and I am excited to make this the best year yet!  My objective is to foster a safe, trustworthy, and collaborative environment where each child is challenged academically in Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing.
