Welcome to first grade!
I have lived in Colorado my entire life and absolutely love it here! My husband and I live in Castle Rock with our adopted Saint Bernard, Schatzi. We have both worked in motorsports over the years and we are currently enjoying motorcycle adventures in the mountains, both on and off road.
I'm very flexible and welcome you all to our classroom...it's truly magical. I'm very excited about our class this year and I appreciate our wonderful parents and students at MVE.
Class Dojo is the best way to communicate with me!

Daily Schedule
School classrooms can be chilly in the winter. Please consider leaving a ‘school sweater’ or fleece in our classroom this fall and winter so it is always there when needed.
There is nothing better than pulling on a cozy fleece when you are cold!
There is nothing worse than having to do your work while wearing a bulky winter jacket inside, rotating between sweating and freezing.
SOCKS and A CHANGE OF CLOTHES
Students are dismissed based off what you responded on the Google Form - NO EXCEPTIONS!
Be sure to send a written note or call the office as early as possible, no emails!
Please be on time!
Classroom Door: Students will meet you. Please have your pass with you. It can be helpful to take a picture on your phone! Please be on time!
BASE: Students are picked up from class at 3:40 and checked into BASE. For more information look on MVE’s Website.
Bus: Your child will need a SMART Tag attached to their bag. Purchase through DCSD Transportation. Students will be released through the building (front doors) then onto the buses.
Carpool: Students will be called from their classrooms and brought to you in the carpool lane. You don’t need to get out of your car. You will need to display the yellow tag to have your student dismissed to you.
Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS)

Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Safe
Birthday treats are welcome! PLEASE MAKE IT SIMPLE AND NOT GROSS.
No invitations for birthday parties will be distributed at school unless every child is invited. If there are enough invites, they’ll be sent home in blue take-home folders. It can also be boys only or girls only.
*Please sign up for the Class Directory if you would like to mail invites or have your child included. I cannot share any family contact information throughout the school year.
You can find information about all of the curriculum used at MV on the school website.
We’ll have a simple morning snack during recess. Students can bring in two snacks.
Please pack a healthy snack for your child to have during this time if they are hungry. Please keep in mind that eating snack is their choice.
Any donations would be great!
Snacks need to be in backpacks, not lunch boxes.
Please send a water bottle that is spill proof. Nothing with a straw or twist off cap.
We have lots of spills and things get ruined.
Cold lunch- students will put their lunchboxes in a basket that will be delivered to the cafeteria in the morning.
Hot lunch - The lunch calendar is found on the DCSD Nutrition Site. They need to know their lunch number.
There is a nut-free table in the cafeteria for students with allergies. Nut products are allowed at all other tables.
Shoe tying.
Jacket zipping! Please practice before it snows.
SEND IN AN EXTRA CHANGE OF CLOTHES/SOCKS!!
Your child is responsible for all of his or her belongings. It is helpful to have his or her name written on everything in case something is misplaced.
Think jackets, boots, gloves, hats, lunch box… ☺
Blue Folders- These will come home everyday. They will contain completed student work & important information from the office and myself. Unless there is something that needs a signature, they should be returned empty the next day.If your child was absent I will send home their work, please complete it and send it back in.
-READ!
~20 Minutes/Night
If you read to your child every night, their reading level can increase by two years! We’re ALL busy. PLEASE MAKE THIS A PART OF YOUR NIGHT.
