Hi There!

My name is Mr. Balasa and I am the fifth grade teacher.

Our biggest goal for the 2023-2024 school year is to build upon the skills that students developed in 4th Grade and add new things to their arsenal. My three goals outside of the grade book are for students to learn and practice respect for themselves and each other, to develop a sense of responsibility for their learning, and to develop a drive in students so that they can achieve their own goals and our goals as a class.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].

All homework is posted on the Classroom whiteboard for students to copy down at the start of the day. It is also posted on Google Classroom. All announcements will be sent via email to parents at the start of the week and reminders will be sent out if needed as the week progresses.
