About Ms. Jankowski
Hello! My name is Helena Jankowski and I will be your child’s teacher this year! I grew up in Michigan and earned a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Special Education at Michigan State University. I’ve been teaching for 6 years and am excited for my first full year at McCutcheon Elementary.

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,  Mr. D, Ms. Tracy, and Ms. Tonya. 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.). 
Communication:
Communication with parents/guardians is a priority for me. In our classroom, I will send out a monthly calendar of upcoming events and a monthly newsletter describing the units (topics) we will be discussing that month. Also, there will be a daily folder sent home that describes what your child did at school.  There will also be a spot where you can send me a note as well.

You are welcome to email, text, or call me as well. Please see the contact information above for information on how to contact me. This year, McCutcheon is also using the app/website Snap! Connect. Please let me know if you need help registering for this wonderful free communication tool.
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.
