Welcome!

Dear Families,                                                                         
My name is Tracy Mingarelli and I am very excited to be your child’s second grade teacher!  I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child and I would like to share a little about myself. 

I live in Warner with my husband, Ryan, our young daughter, Hailey, and our dog, Colby.  I have enjoyed teaching first grade at Bow Elementary for eight years now and I’m thrilled to be a part of Simonds School this next school year!  Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and spending time with my family.  As a teacher, I am interested in the latest research in literacy development, integrating technology into the classroom, and creating a strong classroom community.  I also value strong collaboration between parents, teachers, and the school community.
  
In August you will receive an information packet about the school year. There is a new student “Meet and Greet” on August 23rd from 2-3 p.m. if you are interested in attending.  Please check out our classroom blog with information about second grade and our class!  I am truly looking forward to spending time with your child.  We will learn a lot in second grade and we’ll also have a lot of fun! 

Enthusiastically,
Tracy Mingarelli
