A parent sent a note saying,
“Courtney is my son's favorite teacher and also mine as a parent! Our son has a 504 plan and I spend a lot of time connecting with teachers so I know how I can assist him at home. Courtney is the only teacher that emails me first. She is cognizant of the different learning styles and educational needs of the kids she teaches and is always ready to offer extra support to make sure they have a firm grasp on the concepts they are covering in class. As a parent, I don't worry that his accommodations aren't being provided in Courtney's class and that deserves a shout-out”.
Congratulations on making a difference for your students and their family! We so appreciate you in the district. Thank you for all you are doing.
