Hello!

I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! This will be an exciting year as we prepare your child for middle school. I can't wait to get to know your children and watch them learn and grow each day!

Education

I graduated with my B.A. in Liberal Studies from the University of La Verne. I then went on to earn my California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential as well as my M.A. in Teaching and Learning from the University of Redlands.

More about me...

I have been happily married to my husband for almost 27 years. We have three daughters, Krystle, Emily, and Carlie and we recently welcomed our first Grandbaby, Ellie! We also have two dogs, Lucy and Jax.

Outside of teaching, I love going for bike rides, spending time at the beach, and getting lost in a great book!

I am looking forward to this new school year and all of the wonderful things that your children are going to learn.

All homework will be posted at the link below. This homework link will also be posted in our Google Classroom. 
All work is due by the following school day unless otherwise noted. 
Late work will be accepted but for partial credit. 
* If you notice that your child regularly has an excessive amount of homework, this could be an indicator that they are not using their in-class time wisely.

Communication

I believe that it is very important to have open communication between parents, students, and teacher. If you would like to communicate with me, please use "Rooms" or email. I will provide all Information to parents and students via Google Classroom, Rooms, and my teacher website.

You can access the class Google Classroom, by clicking on the link above. Please make sure your child is logged into their school email by adding @etiwanda.org to their username.

For parent-to-teacher communication, please reach out to me through Rooms or email Judy_Gonzalez@etiwanda.org. (The Rooms feature of the Etiwanda app is our preferred method of communication)
