Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!! 

My name is Mrs. Taylor and I am happy to have your child in my class this year. Some students are joining me this year me the first time, and for some students, this will be our second year together.

I have been working in the Yonkers Public Schools system for 13 years and have worked in various school buildings. As a teacher, I strongly believe in challenging students and setting high expectations for them. I believe in teaching the whole child. In other words, I foster a child’s desire to not only learn, but to grow as a person as well. To me, it is important to always keep an open line of communication with my students and parents.

Please note that our class will be using Microsoft Teams for Virtual lessons. Please check out Understanding Microsoft Teams/Office 365 Page to watch a video which will help you and your child better understand how it works. We will also use other platforms such as CLEVER. I will also use CLASS DOJO as another means of communication. If you have any questions, comments or concerns or need additional support with Assignments, I am available via email and Class Dojo between 8:35 am and 3:15 pm Monday - Friday.

Attendance will be taken at 8:35 am daily.

On Tuesday September 8, 2020 please log into Microsoft teams at 9:35 am Sharp by clicking the following link I am looking forward to seeing you on Microsoft Teams.

 Please note that, if you have not already received and invitation from me for CLASS DOJO that mean I do not have a working phone number or email for you, so please email me with your correct contact information so that I can send you an invitation.
