NTPS and all Washington school are closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.  Please go to my “Remote Learning Resources” tab to access various lessons and resources provided by the district.

I have also set up a Google Phone number! This way families can reach me at any time during office hours at any time. The number is (360) 504-8159. I love trying to figure out new technology — we'll see how this works! It is a number you can call back, text, and leave voicemails.

My office hours are between 8:00am-4:00pm. The fastest way to reach me is by email.

NTPS is making available checkout Chromebooks to our Pre-K through 2nd Grade families who lack an internet enabled device for their student to use at home. Student Chromebooks are configured with built in internet filtering to block harmful content and have our standard apps that students use in their classroom instruction. The device will be checked out to your student for the duration of the school closure. The district will contact families before the end of the school year with information on how to return your device. The checkout will use a drive through model at Mt. View in the bus parking lot off 22nd. Please stay in your car and a staff member will approach to ask for your students’ teacher and name.  After documenting the device your student will be issued, they’ll hand you a Chromebook and power adapter to use at home. Please see below for your grade levels pickup date and time.

Communication between family and school is extremely important to me.  On my class website, I will post about activities, lessons, helpful tips, or specific verbiage we are using in class. This gives families an opportunity to communicate with their child about his or her school day. Using the same verbiage or terminology that we use in school will help build that school to home generalization of skills.  If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions please call or email me. I appreciate any feedback from you to make this the best educational experience for your family.
