Supply List

 

The supply list for all classes will include the following items: MRS. SHAVER

1.)  A three-ring binder (2-inch ring size is suggested)

2.) College-ruled notebook paper

3.) One pack of (5) dividers (with pockets is suggested)

           *We will label the dividers in class on the first day. 

4.) Blue or black ink pens

5.) Mechanical pencils

6.) Correction tape

7.) Two paper folders with clasps for future projects

8.) Colored pencils or markers for future projects

9.) Three highlighters for essays - one pink, one yellow, and one blue 

 

NOTE: A short list of required novels will be given to the students during the first two weeks of school. The novels will be read at some point during the year. It is suggested that students purchase a hard copy of their required novels on their own, but I will try to provide free eBook copies of these novels if possible to be used electronically. 

 

**Students are expected to bring their assigned textbooks and their assigned Chromebooks to class every day.

***Students will not use cell phones in class this year, and Chromebooks will be used only if the teacher instructs students to use them. 

****Assignments will be submitted on notebook paper unless otherwise stated by the teacher.

 

 

 

     I am so excited to be here at Glenwood with you and to be a Glenwood Gator! I know that we will have a great school year.

     We will use Google Classroom almost every day this year, so please be prepared to make that your go-to place for assignments,  announcements, and class materials. I will invite ALL of my students for the (2023-2024) school year to join my Google Classroom within the first two weeks of school. (It is mandatory for my students to join, so parents, please make that that your child has done so.) In addition, I offer tutoring after school on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:05 to 4:00 in my classroom. You just need to schedule a time for tutoring with me the day before you plan to stay.

     Best of luck this year, and I wish you nothing but success. Go Gators!

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Shaver

 

     I am a graduate of Auburn University in Secondary Language Arts Education. I taught in Chambers County, Alabama, for twenty-six years with eleven years at the middle school level and fifteen years at the high school level teaching all grades from seventh through twelfth. During those years, I taught General English, Advanced English, Reading Remediation, Communications/Public Speaking, ACT Prep, and Journalism. During my tenure in public education, I was honored to receive the Teacher of the Year Award at both W.F. Burns Middle School and Valley High School as well as the Chambers County Secondary Teacher of the Year Award.

     I retired from the Alabama Public Education System in 2020 and moved to the Alabama Independent School Association and Glenwood School in August 2020. I am currently teaching 9th and 10th-Grade English, Honors 9th-Grade English, and Honors 10th-Grade English. I also sponsor the Interact Service Club.  In 2022, I was honored to be named Glenwood School's Page One Nominee for the Sara Spano Top Teacher of the Year Award.

     My husband Gary and I have two children, Bailey (26), and Bryant (22). We also have our "bonus son," and Bailey's husband, Anthony. Bailey is a graduate of Auburn University with a Business Administration degree, and Bryant is a senior at Auburn University majoring in Management Information Systems (MIS). We are definitely an Auburn family! WAR EAGLE! 

     It has been such a blessing to be here at Glenwood School, and I am thrilled to begin my 30th year in education at this wonderful place. I look forward to meeting you all!

GO GATORS!
