If you desire feedback on your son/daughter regarding grades or conduct, please email me and I will send a reply to your questions as quickly as possible.

Please keep in mind it is difficult to reply during class time while learning is in progress.  Therefore, response time may not be immediate, but always within a 24 hour period.

Parents,

Please encourage your son or daughter to check the website for daily assignments and insist they READ their textbooks as well as study their notes frequently. This will benefit everyone!

"If you are a parent of a child with a learning disability – or have learning disabilities yourself - you are not alone. Typical learning difficulties include dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia – often complicated by associated disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder" (Learning Disabilities Association of America, 2004).

A Call for Technology

in Mrs. King's Science Class
My goal (since 2002) has been to have a class set of wireless remote laptops for student use in my science classroom. I am passionate about fulfilling my commitment to teaching science through the aid of technology. This will enable my students the benefit of virtual science research, graphing and math skills, experimental design, online resources, online testing, virtual labs and so much more. 
  I encourage you to become involved in education.
Thank you in advance for your help and continued support in  making our science students the BEST in Brevard County and in the State!
