About Ms. Jankowski:
I am entering my 7th year teaching Special Education. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Special Education, both from Michigan State University. I also have studied teaching English as a Second Language and psychology. In my spare time, I love volunteering with cat rescues, traveling, attending concerts, and gardening. |
Contact Information:
|
I really value frequent contact between home and school. You will receive a weekly email newsletter from me, as well as a monthly calendar with events and reminders. Your student will also have a daily communication folder sent between school and home daily.
In addition, you can feel free to contact me any time via phone call, text, or e-mail (see above)!
I do my best to respond to messages left between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM in a timely manner.
If it is an urgent message, please get in touch with the office.

About Our Cluster Classroom:
In our classroom, we have 13 students in grades Kindergarten through Second Grade. There are four wonderful educational assistants in the classroom: Ms. Z, Ms. Arya, Mr. Peace, and Mr. LG. We have an AMAZING team!
This classroom is called a "cluster" special education class. Cluster programs are designed for students requiring a significantly modified curriculum with moderate to intensive supports in a separate classroom from general education peers for the majority of the day (over 61% of the day). We focus on essential curriculum, as well as skills that promote independence and daily living. Students will be with their general education peers during lunch, recess, and specials (Art, Music, STEAM labs, and P.E.).

Specials Schedule:
Please note that P.E. Class is held at the adjacent Boys and Girls Club Building, which requires students to travel outside to get to class. Please make sure your child has both gym shoes and a coat (when needed) on P.E. days, so they can participate in P.E. class.
