Hello!
I am Danielle McKinnon and I am very pleased to welcome your child to my 7th grade English Language Arts class.
​
Middle school is an important time of learning for life, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to that learning. I look forward to helping your child grow in knowledge and skills in ELA. As an ELA teacher, I believe that a student's mastery of content in ELA is crucial to his/her future. I will strive to provide your child with a firm foundation in this area.
​
I firmly believe in open communication between parents and teachers. This website serves as a tool to keep you informed of what is going on daily in my classroom, however, if at any time you feel the need to talk with me on a more personal level please do not hesitate to contact me at the email below or call the school to schedule a conference.
​
Best wishes,
​
Ms. D. McKinnon
