Welcome!

Welcome new and returning families!


I hope that you have had a refreshing and restful summer.  I would like to welcome you to the Academic Learning Center (ALC) at Mountain View! The ALC aims to encourage academic, social and life skills growth for students impacted by a variety of disabilities by creating an environment that emphasizes modified academics and life skills. We also provide a respectful and open learning environment so that we may foster age-appropriate social skills.

Students will receive specialized services in academics, life skills, social skills, organization, communication and fine and gross motor skills through a variety of research based curriculums. This class will be a secondary blended grade classroom, so we will have 6th, 7th and 8th graders working together.

For some background on me for new families, this is my eleventh year in special education, fifth year teaching and third year teaching the ALC. I am so excited for another fantastic year! We have an amazing group of instructional assistants this year (Mrs. Williams, Ms. Tami and Ms. Lorie), as well as our talented group of teachers, including Mrs. Twain (speech), Mrs. Ford (OT) and Mrs. Johnson (APE). If you have any questions about our staff, or myself, please feel free to ask at any time.

I'm looking forward to another great year!
P.S. Don't forget that we will be having an open house for students and families to come visit the classroom on Friday 10am-11:30am! I hope to see you then!
