TEACHER'S MESSAGE
Greeting Students and Parents, This is my 10th year of teaching in Chicago Public Schools. I have been a Language Arts teacher at Lorca since the doors opened in 2010. I am a graduate of Illinois State University, where I received my teaching certification. I deeply enjoy my job and what I do. Nothing makes me happier than analyzing a good book with an eager group of students. I am truly looking forward to a phenomenal school year and expect to work closely with all of you. I will be providing all the support that you will need to have a successful school year as a Lorca Orca! Sincerely, Ms. Maks PARENT MEETINGS and PARTICIPATION
Parents are always welcome to see what is going on in my classroom and your support as a parent/guardian in an integral part of your child’s success. Please be in touch with your questions, concerns or thoughts. I can always be reached through email at jemaks@cps.edu. |
