Welcome to Life Learners II!

Hello! My name is Larissa Vlassich and I am so excited to be a part of the Porter Traditional team. Before coming to Porter, I taught 5-6 grade at The Auburn School in Fairfax, VA. I moved to VA from Pittsburgh, PA in February 2018. Before moving I taught at Wesley Spectrum K-8 School. I graduated from West Virginia University in 2014 with my Master's in Elementary Education grades PreK-6 and Special Education grades PreK-12. I am so excited to start this new school year and cannot wait to learn more about Porter and all of you! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail.

Please sign up for Literacy Week, April 6-9! 

Lunch Buddy Readers-Life Learners We are looking for volunteers to read stories to our Porter Students via zoom during our Literacy Week on April 6th-9th. Volunteers will pick a book from the approved book list to read aloud to the students during their lunches. Volunteers will need to have a copy of the book at their home. Volunteers can check out "suggested list of authors/titles" or can provide your own title in the comments section of the sign ups. We will send out zoom links closer to our Literacy Week. Please reach out to Mrs. Hill at crossea@pwcs.edu or Mrs. Banks at banksdl@pwcs.edu if you have any questions. We appreciate your help and support with our Literacy Week Activities!

2020-2021 School Year

I am so excited to have your child in my classroom. Thank you so much for taking time to visit our class page and learn more about our classroom, as well as, important updates about our upcoming school year. If you have any questions, please use the contact information below to get in touch with me.
Larissa Vlassich (Life Learners II) - Vlassilr@pwcs.edu

We know that there are a lot of questions about the upcoming school year and what it will look like. Please refer to the following county resources and check this page throughout the summer for updates concerning your child's education. We look forward to working with you in whatever capacity possible as we stay safe this school year.

The main way that we will be communicating instruction will be through the use of Zoom and Canvas. Canvas is a Learning Management System that allows teachers to virtually deliver content to students. Please explore the resources below to help you better understand Canvas.

Please take time to check your child's Office 365 account and let me know if they need a password rest prior to our fist day of school.
