Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year !! I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with you and your child this year!  I have been in education for over 15 years, and have experience teaching 1st-8th grade. In addition to teaching at Douglass, I also teach students at Arnold Elementary.

The San Antonio Independent School District continues to welcome English Language Learners (ELLs), both students, and their families, who bring a richness  to our school community. As we immerse our students in the English language, we assist them in developing a deeper understanding of their own cultures, as well as the diverse cultures in the United States and in the world.  ELLs are capable of reaching the highest standards, but they need time and support to acquire the English language.

I will be keeping in close contact with you throughout the year.  My goal is to support your child with their academic and social growth in order to prepare them to be effective problem solvers and successful adults.

Additionally, your support is sought to ensure the success of our students. We encourage parents to speak to their children in their home language; a child who is literate in his/her first language acquires the second language, in this case English, with fewer difficulties. A rich and stimulating linguistic environment at home, in any language, will ensure the academic and emotional success of our children.

If you have any concerns you would like to share or would like to schedule a conference, please feel free to email me, and I will contact you promptly to meet at a mutually convenient time.
