Best way to contact me: email- Mr. Alberti and I are busy during the day so it is very likely that we may not see the email until the end of the day. If there is a last minute email about picking up a student from school early for example, please email both TA’s- this will help to better ensure we get the message and have them ready.

How can you best support me? 

  • If students are absent- remind them to check with their teacher for missing work.
  • Periodically check Schoology for missing work and updated grades. We will post homework there daily and any announcements and reminders. You can even sign up for email alerts. (any questions on how to log in or get notifications, email helpdesk@sp-apostle.org )
  • Make sure all sweaters, jackets, water bottles etc. are labeled with their name.
  • Make sure students go to bed at an appropriate time.
  • Encourage reading everyday, 20 minutes minimum really makes a difference!
  • Practice multiplication tables with flashcards- having them memorized will make math so much easier

Thank you!
