    Welcome to the 2018 - 2019 school year!

     

    I am very excited to begin my first year at Riverside High School. I was raised in Ashburn, VA, and a graduate of LCPS at Broad Run High School. Following that I continued my education pursuing my undergraduate degree at Christopher Newport University gaining a Bachelor of Arts in History. I obtained my Master of Arts in Teaching at Christopher Newport University as well (Go Captains!). 

     

    When I am not in the classroom, I love to travel around the world, or throughout the US. When I don't have time to travel, I love to dance and go to various fitness classes and sporting events. I also enjoy spending time with my family as well as the new addition Lucy, a toy Austrailian Shepherd.

    Department Grading Policy Department Reassessment policy
    All classes determine a student’s grade by utilizing two categories of assessments when calculating the quarter grade. Summative assessments include tests, essays, and projects and will determine 90% of the grade. Formative assessments, including homework and classwork, will determine 10% of the grade.
     

    Reassessments are an option for students who earn below an 84% on the original assessment. Prior remediation is required before taking the reassessment. Remediation assignments and reassessments must be completed in accordance with the published deadlines. Students may earn up to a 84% on the reassessment. 

    Retests will ONLY be given on Monday and Tuesday mornings at 8:15 and on the afternoon of the activity bus.
