Welcome back scholars and families! I
hope you had a wonderful summer. I’m so glad you will be in my
class this year. You all learned a lot in first grade, but this
year we’re going to grow our brains even bigger!
About Me
I grew up in Frankfort, Kentucky and graduated from college at
Northern Kentucky University. I have one brother and one
sister, who is also an elementary teacher. I wanted to be a
teacher ever since I was a little girl because I LOVE school and
I want my scholars to love it as much as I do. When I was in
second grade, I played soccer, I had my tonsils taken out, and
my favorite book was Harry Potter. I moved to Arkansas this
summer and I LOVE it! My favorite things about AR are the
people, the fish fries, and the beautiful scenery. I’m looking
forward to becoming a part of the community so you will see me
at little league games and community events. I live in Pine Bluff
with my friends who are also teachers and my puppy named Zola.

I believe that all scholars should be in a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment. I use
activities like small and whole group discussion, hands on work, and arts infusion to bring
meaningful learning to the classroom. Every scholar is a bright and shining star, and I want
everyone to SHINE in the classroom. I believe that a classroom is a community, so all parents
are invited to observe and volunteer my class. To observe a class, you must schedule an
appointment with me and check in the office upon arrival. To volunteer, you must fill out the
volunteer portion of the info sheet and check in the office upon arrival.
Classroom Expectations
I hold high expectations for my scholars, both academically and behaviorally, and will hold each
scholar accountable for meeting those expectations. A behavior chart will be sent home every
night to inform you of your scholar’s behavior. I expect your scholar to be in school every day
on time and in uniform so they can learn as much as possible this year. The only acceptable
absences are for religious observances, illness, and family emergence. Other special provisions
are given to military families. If your scholar misses a day, they must complete the missing
assignments in a period of time equal to the length of the absence. For example, if your child
misses two days, they have two school days to make up their missed work. In addition, scholars
who have missed any tests will be expected to begin making up tests on the first day after the
makeup period ends. To learn more about Lighthouse procedures, please read the PBLCS
Scholar Family Handbook.
