Nancy Garrigues

I grew up in Maryland and have progressively moved west. I have lived in Maryland, New Jersey, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Utah. California has been my home since 2001. I have been happily married for 38 years to Ed and we have two adult daughters. I am a dog lover and share my home with a rescue boxer mix named Stanley. I love hiking, reading, snow, and Tootsie Rolls. I am in my 21st year as a teacher at East Heritage Elementary.

Teaching is my passion. I believe that education includes academics as well as becoming valuable members in a community. Each day we grow. We never settle for less than our best and we welcome hard work as a challenge. We persevere. We have fun. We struggle. We support each other. We laugh.

Homework

Due every Friday: Please note the due date at the top of the cover page

**Homework started the second week of school.

See parent newsletter and weekly homework packet for more details.

Homework will go home in your child's homework binder every FRIDAY and will be returned the following FRIDAY. If Friday is a holiday, homework will go home the day we return. We do this so that you are able to get started over the weekend if you know you have a busy week ahead. This will also help your child become acquainted with the upcoming skills. We do not correct homework. However, we do look it over and it does count toward each child's participation grade. Important! Please take care of the homework binder. It needs to be brought to and from school every day. If the binder is damaged or lost, you will need to replace it (1" clear, white view binder). It is an important resource for you and your child, so please treat it with care. Thank you for supporting your child and helping them succeed!
