Mrs. Welton
This is my second year at Neuqua Gold, seventh year of teaching, but my 16th year in education. I have a passion for education and students and look forward to having you in class this year! Please know that I am available before and after school by appointment to assist you and your parents during this first year of high school. As a mother, I know that parent-teacher communication is extremely important; and I welcome parent contact as needed to assure a quality of comfort while students are with me. As a teacher, I want to provide a classroom environment that is warm, welcoming and conducive to becoming a life-long learner.
With that being said, here's a little bit about me!

Final thought:
I would like to merely be a brick in the learning path of life. Life has many lessons, most of which are learned outside of the classroom. May the brief time I have you/your child in class be one that is filled with pertinent, viable path building moments.
