Hello! I am Freshman advisement teacher, Amanda Kerr. I am so excited to start off the year with all you young scholars, athletes, artists and gamers. A bit about me. I am an Art Teacher in the BHS academy, my focus being the 3 Dimensional arts where we get to get really messy and channel our inner tinker-er. This will be my 19th year in teaching, all of them in DCSD and my 12th year at CV. I have 3 kids of my own, all will be at CRMS this year. My son is in 8th so some of you might actually know of him.
My focus in my classrooms is always to bring out the creative person lurking in all of us. In advisement I take my role as mentor, advocate and den mother very seriously. During days when we stay together as a group, we will play games, have debates, eat pancakes, learn time management skills and generally support each other through their time in high school. At least once a week, starting in week 2, I will start to pull grades and attendance records and will counsel them on classes in which you are struggling and celebrate classes in which you are doing well or showing improvement. I will be informing them of opportunities to earn their community service hours and may even create some ways which we can do as an advisement. I will also be creating opportunities for us to meet outside of the classroom and meet up together at school events to support each other in their extra-curricular activities. I hope to create a weekly blog/newsletter to blast out which will include events, announcements and things you might want to know about what's going on at Castle View For starters, I would appreciate if you would take a few minutes to fill out the surveys on the side bar, there is one for parents and one for students. I am looking forward to meeting my new group of students who I will get to be with for 4 years and will have the very great honor of escorting them to the stage at graduation in 2022. Please feel free to send me an email anytime and I will always do me best to respond with in 24 hours. Let's have a great year where we not only learn amazing things, but have great time too!
