Welcome Back!

Welcome back to a new school year at Northwood Elementary and the Reach Program! I'm excited to be returning to Northwood in my second year teaching Reach students. As in life, there are some changes since last year. We graduated our 6th graders and, from what I've heard, they miss us and really like Merton Williams. With all the screening, permission forms and scheduling completed, we found more students entered the Reach Program than left...totaling about seventy students clustered in eleven classrooms. We've also moved, to make room for a growing Northwood population, to rooms A27a and A27b just outside the A1-6 core off the cafeteria. Students have complimented how cozy and comfortable the rooms are and they like them. It is a great space for small groups of students. Larger groups of students will use a combination of the cafeteria , Small Theater, Library, and MPR. Looking forward to the exciting learning opportunities ahead!
