** Welcome to Mrs. Bousum's Teacher Web Site **
====Hello, students and parents. I am excited to be your English teacher and mentor, and I hope you will find this web site useful and informative. Please visit my **Meet the Teacher** page to learn a little bit about me. Then go to the page for the course you are taking. There, you will find specific information about the course, including some of the literature we will be studying, my grading policies, and other department policies. You'll also find information about tutorials and how to reach me. ** Please note that we will be using Google Classroom for the first semester; **** hence, I will not be updating the wikispace. **====

**Mrs. Bousum’s Mission Statement[[image:lighthouse.jpg align="right"]]**
====I will provide a classroom environment where students feel motivated to learn, challenged to succeed, and supported in their roles as learners and young adults. I will do my best to reach and engage students by creating positive learning experiences that are relevant to the skills they will need to succeed in life and conducive to life long learning. I will set high standards for student performance; and acting as coach, I will guide, support, and encourage students to reach their potential. I will routinely meet with students one on one, and establish more effective partnerships with parents and families by maintaining communication. Finally, I will do my best to model and encourage thoughtful and responsible behavior.====

**Hunterdon Central's Mission Statement**
==== To create teaching and learning environments that engage all students, foster achievement, and cultivate the skills needed to compete, connect, and collaborate as ethical and responsible participants in a global society. ====
