Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! This is an exciting time for your child, although he/she may be a little apprehensive about starting middle school. The first days of school will mark an important milestone in your child’s education.
What brought me to OWNCS?Prior to coming to OWNCS, I taught in Manhattan, 3rd grade, for three years. Before teaching, I participated in the AmeriCorps VISTA program as a Resource Developer at an inner city high school in San Francisco, CA. Later, a marketing account manager at an advertising company in Manhattan. Soon after I attended Teachers College, Columbia University, receiving a masters degree in elementary education. I've been a teacher @ OWNCS since 2008.

How can you help?In order to help your child succeed, I will need your help. Please make sure your child is prepared for reading and writing workshop daily. Students should have an ELA folder, reading journal, writer’s notebook, post-its, and two independent reading books. Along with these supplies, please check that your child is completing homework by checking their planners often.
