ABOUT
Students and parents/guardians,
Hi! My name is Mr. Cabrera, and I will be your teacher this year at William Paca Middle School. I am so excited that you will be in my class and I can't wait to meet you and start our year together. I know you are going to love Paca!
About Me
I've lived in the district with my family since I was 3 years old and I went to William Paca Middle School when I was your age! I graduated from William Floyd High School in 2004. I went to Suffolk Community College, Saint Joseph's College, Stony Brook University, and The University of Alicante in Spain where I learned a great deal of Spanish. I love learning new languages and in addition to Spanish I know a few words and phrases in Polish, Italian, French, and Manderin.
Our Classroom
Our classroom is a very busy place to learn. Your help will be needed throughout the school year and parent involvement is also needed and very much appreciated.
Our classroom environment is structured by a variety of hands-on learning activities, games and learning centers.
Communication
Communication is essential and I will be sending home a quarterly progress report about how your child is doing in my class. You can also visit our class website for updates, pictures, helpful resources and see everything that we are doing.
Classroom Behavior Plan
We use the green, yellow, red behavior plan in our classroom. Each day every student begins at green. After a student is not following directions or misbehaves they get a warning and are given a yellow card. If the behavior continues, then they are given a red card and will get a phone call home and/or a principal referral.
