Welcome
A little about myselfWelcome to the Forest Friends Class! My name is Mrs. Melodie Phillips. Before teaching, I was a Marketing Director for 20 retail clothing stores, so I have a strong business and technology background to share with my students. I started at Holley Navarre Primary as a "Class Mom" for my two daughters - they are 13 and 16 years old now (7th and 11th grades). My daughters are going through the Santa Rosa County School System, just like your child!
I was encouraged to become a substitute teacher from my daughters' teachers after they witnessed my passion for early childhood education. After a couple of years of substitute teaching at Holley Navarre Primary, teachers again encouraged me to go back to college (UWF) to become a certified teacher (my student teaching was in 1st Grade). I have proudly been teaching Kindergarten classes for eight years now at Holley Navarre Primary School. As I strive for innovation, I will be making my classroom more accessible, communication more open, and documents more easily attainable by building this website and incorporating as many technology tools as I can to our classroom. I will be posting forms, curriculum information, newsletters, and classroom calendars on this site. I strongly believe that parent involvement is crucial to our learning goals' achievement!! I will be using "Class Messenger" as the way to reach you with timely information. Please bare with me as I strive to update documents and information this year for your convenience!! There will be more documents to come shortly! Again parents, I welcome you and my students to the Forest Friends' Class where each student is measured/educated by their individual capabilities and aspirations!! I look forward to a fantastic year with all of you! Please feel free to contact me at any time; and, I am always available after school hours to meet with your family in-person if the need/want ever arrises. Sincerely, Mrs. Phillips |
