Mrs. Faust

Howdy! I am Mrs. Faust and I am excited about this year!
This will be my 20th year teaching in the middle school setting, and my 6th year here at BMS.
I teach 6th, 7th and 8th grade ELA Resource, and am the Inclusion teacher for two 8th grade ELA classes.
I graduated from Southwest Texas State, now Texas State University...Eat'Em Up Cats!
I am married and have 2 adult children. I'm also a dog mom to two Weimaraners.
In my spare time I enjoy water sports, crafting, and DIY home projects.
I look forward to a fantastic year together!

When you walk into the room, put your things at your assigned desk and read the front board to see supplies needed for the period. Gather these items and be seated.
When a Chromebook is posted as a needed supply, you will unplug YOUR assigned chromebook from the classroom cart. If you forget your number, check the binder on top of the cart. You are expected to ONLY be on class assigned sites and follow all BCISD rules. At the end of the period, you will return your Chromebook to the cart, making sure it is in the correct slot with the correct charger cord plugged in.
 
HOMEWORK: 
There will not be any homework assigned. However, IF work is not completed during the assigned class period(s), you may be assigned "tutoring" or be asked to complete the work at home.
