WELCOME PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS TO THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR!!

I’M SO EXCITED TO START THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR WITH YOU AND YOUR STUDENT! MY NAME IS MRS. HERALD AND THIS IS MY SIXTH YEAR AT TRINITY MIDDLE SCHOOL. A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION: THIS IS MY EIGHTH YEAR TEACHING SPECIAL EDUCATION. I PREVIOUSLY TAUGHT LIFE SKILLS IN WAYNESBURG TO BOTH MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. I GRADUATED FROM WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY IN 2008 WITH A DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY AND COMPLETED MY ELEMENTARY (K-6) AND SPECIAL (K-12) EDUCATION DEGREE AT WAYNESBURG UNIVERSITY IN 2012. I’M FROM WASHINGTON, PA AND GRADUATED FROM TRINITY IN 2004. 

I BELIEVE THAT PARENT/CAREGIVER PARTICIPATION IS THE KEY TO STUDENT SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT IN THE CLASSROOM. I WELCOME COMMUNICATION THROUGH E-MAILS, PHONE CALLS, CONFERENCES AND COMMUNICATION LOGS.  PLEASE SEE MY CONTACT INFO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

MY ROLE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS TO PROVIDE ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SUPPORT TO STUDENTS ON MY CASE LOAD. I WORK PRIMARILY WITH STUDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH ASD (AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER) THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT BEYOND THE REGULAR EDUCATION CURRICULUM. I TEACH, PROVIDE IEP SUPPORTS, COMPLETE IEP PAPERWORK, MEET WITH STUDENTS, COORDINATE STUDENT SCHEDULES, COORDINATE WITH TEACHERS AND RELATED SERVICE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS.   PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL "PAGES" FOR INFORMATION ON ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SUPPORTS PROVIDED HERE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
