Katie Battaglia

I am so excited to take on the role of Family Liaison at Horizon, in addition to continuing my work as a literacy tutor - a position I have held for the past four years.  I have over 20 years of experience in elementary education, including time as a classroom teacher.  I hold a degree in Elementary Education from The University of Delaware and a graduate certificate in Teaching English Learners from the University of Virginia.  

Outside of school, I love traveling with my family and watching our daughter (21) and son (16) play sports. 

In my role as Family Liaison, my goal is to build strong, supportive connections between home and school.  I am here to help families access the information, resources, and support they need so that every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed both socially and academically.  Email me anytime at Katie Battaglia or call the school for support!

What is a Family Liaison?

A Family Liaison is a staff member who works to bridge the communication between school and home by helping parents get the information, help, and support they need to ensure their child’s academic and social success at school. We strive to make sure that each and every student has the necessary resources to help them achieve their best.  In this ever changing economic climate sometimes we find ourselves in need of outside resources and assistance. 

How can the Family Liaison help me?

Family Liaisons can provide assistance with:

  • Food needs including weekend backpack meals

  • Clothing needs such as coats, winter and summer clothing

  • School supplies

  • Various in-school items such as field trip expenses, class parties, PTA programs

  • Information about community resources that can help with eye glasses, dental needs, healthcare needs

  • Other needs

  • Interpreter arrangements

How can I get in touch with the Family Liaison?

You can call the school office at 571-434-3260 to schedule an appointment.
