First Week of School


The first days of school have been a success; very few issues.  I have been going over procedure and policy for the last few days with my students and will continue too.  I showed my award winning First Day of School DVD today.  Ask your children… its ground breaking; super awesome special effects.  I will also be giving out text books tomorrow in ALL classes and I expect them to be covered as soon as possible.  Today and tomorrow we have be working making sure that ALL students that have a cell phone sign up for my Remind 101 app.  FYI If you have already received a text message from me than you have already signed up for this.  These tend to go out weekly and are an important tool in communication.  I will have my syllabus on Plus Portals before Parent Teacher Orientation which is next Wednesday.  Let’s have a wonderful year and if you have any questions or concerns please let me know.  Thank you.

August 15th, 2017


The first day of school is fast approaching… unbelievable it is Monday the 21st; that is also a noon dismissal.  I really do hope everyone had a restful yet wonderful and fun summer.  I was very busy myself. 
I will be doing much of the same I have done in previous years in regards to the science experiments, Remind 101 app, this blog and whatnot.  However, I do ask that ALL students do have a thin 3 hole science binder this year as we are going to create personal portfolios.  I have done this before, but it has been awhile.  Also, be prepared to have students bring in their cell phones (if they have them… most do) on the second day of school to sign up for the Remind 101 app in the Lab.  I am looking forward to what the new school year brings and am very excited.  FYI I will be sending a syllabus home with students that first week as well.  By all means if you have any questions please e-mail me it is on Plus Portals and on my syllabus and never hesitate to set up a conference if so desired; it’s important to keep the lines of communication open.

Let’s have a great year… GO MONARCHS!  Oh, and 18 more days to Michigan football.  GO BLUE!

July 11th, 2017


I hope everyone has been having an awesome summer so far and doing lots of fun things.  I spent a week upnorth for the 4th and visited Mackinaw Island for a day trip.  Hopefully along with vacations and being at the pool, you are doing a bit of reading too.  It’s hard to believe that school starts next month… Yikes!  Well, everyone be safe and I look forward to the new school year.

Maybe, I will see a few of your parent’s downtown in the D for one of the greatest bands of all-time tomorrow! \m/

Last Week of School



It is the last week of school… 10:00 AM dismissal tomorrow.  Yeah!  It seems just a short time ago the school year had begun as the weeks and months went by we got closer to yet another June.  This was my tenth year at Cabrini and even though there were many ups there were some downs too.  I truly do love working here at Cabrini and am very blessed to have such a wonderful support system not only with my peers, but parents as well.  Thank you for being so proactive and working with us.  I am looking forward to next year and what new exciting challenges that brings.  There will be more changes I am sure.  I already have new creative ideas buzzing around in my head to make for a positive school year in the fall.  By the way the first day is Monday August 21st… Please let’s all have a wonderful and safe summer.  Relax.  I will see you at the festival this weekend and perhaps even some of you at any of the summer concerts I have planned.  I will be at Tool tomorrow at DTE, RATT at the Uncle Sam Jam in early July, Metallica on July 12th at Comerica, Tom Petty, KoRn/Stone Sour at the end of July and finally Sammy Hagar in September.
