Nancy Hay
5th Grade Team
Hey Wildcats! This year I will begin my 19th year in the classroom. I love doing anything and everything that involves being creative in the classroom. I especially love using technology. Before I started my teaching career, I worked in the banking industry, but decide that working in a career field of helping to develop young minds was more important. Also, I am certified in Elementary Education K-6, Reading K-12, ESOL Endorsement and Middle Grades Social Science 5-9.
My office hours are 7:45 - 3:30 Monday - Friday - I will be returning emails throughout this time period.
Planning Time - 1:30 - 2:05 - Monday - Friday - This is the time I will be able to schedule parent/teacher conferences via Zoom.
I am looking forward to a great year in 5th grade!
