Welcome students and parents! 

On May 1, my new little baby prince arrived: Giovanni Daniel Flores

4:55 a.m. 8 lbs. 21 in.

I am extremely overwhelmed with joy and happiness! My family and I feel very blessed as we begin a new chapter in our lives.

Therefore, for the remaining weeks of 4th quarter I will be out on maternity leave. Mrs. Toni Douglas will be covering my 6th grade Language Arts class and Mrs. Cindy Farley will be covering both my 7th & 8th grade Language Arts class. Also, I will be posting grades online from the previous weeks and both Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. Farley will continue to post grades starting May 2nd.

Thank you for all your support, patience and understanding.
