Classroom News!!
Dear Students and Parents,
I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing summer! I am excited to hear about everyone’s adventures this summer! My name is Mrs. Hill and I am thrilled to be re-turning to Porter Traditional School as the Life Learners 1 Teacher for the 2019-2020 school year.
This is my sixth year teaching and being a part of the Porter Family. I absolute-ly love it here, as I am sure you will as well. Before teaching at Porter, I have had previous experiences working with 4th grade, and in two Learning Support Class-rooms. I have also had experience working with students with Intellectual Disabili-ties and Autism Spectrum Disorders. In all of these experiences, I have learned that communication between families and educators is key to student success. Aside from teaching, I enjoy spending time with my dog Harley, running, kayaking, and spending time with family and friends. In the fall, I enjoy watching football and cheering on Penn State and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Please take time to visit the Porter website www.porter.pwcs.edu; it is full of information such as upcoming events; supply lists, our uniform policy, and the sum-mer reading lists. Also please feel free to contact me at crossea@pwcs.edu with any questions or concerns.
I look forward to meeting our new Life Learners and seeing the returning Life Learners at Teacher Meet and Greet and Back to School Night! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Sincerely,
Mrs.Hill
