Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! My name is Ms. Lisa Catanzarite and I am currently teaching7th grade English Language Arts. English Language Arts incorporates reading, writing, & grammar skills. My classroom #407 is located on the 4th floor of the Rosa Parks building. Even though we are starting the school year remotely, students in my classes will still be expected to be prepared for class each day with their materials as well as their homework. They must log into the class google meets during their allotted time each day. Attendance is taken in the virtual classroom each day. I assign homework regularly {including weekends} and all of the work will require the use of the internet and computers. Please monitor your child's progress by making sure they turn in all of their assignments. The students and parents may also email me any and all questions they have about homework, long term assignments, or other school issues before 8:00pm each night at: catanzli@orange.k12.nj.us.
