Personal

Married for 31 years to Joe Cryer.

Two daughters, Anne, 30 and Jane, 26.

Teaching is the most rewarding thing I can ever imagine doing because I love the students and firmly believe that EVERY child CAN learn.

Student Expectations

I expect each student to show respect for themselves and others, both other students and adults in the class. Each student should try their best on each assignment. Students should follow all class and school rules.

Parent Expectations

Please have your child read to you. I firmly believe that the more a child reads, the better they will do. If there is anything you notice that might affect your child's work at school, please let me know as soon as possible. It is very important for the child's benefit that there are open communications between home and school.
