Mrs. Lopatin’s Classroom Edit display name

We are a Title I school, where the students are mostly of immigrant background. Most of their first language is Spanish, but they are hard workers and always try to rise to the occasion. They have high standards set for themselves and are very driven. Most of them do not have Internet at home, have to help raise little brothers and sisters at home because their parents work multiple jobs, but they are very gracious. For many of them the only time they get a fresh meal is here at school. We are very aware of the hardships our students face once they walk out of our sights, so we strive to be the safest, most welcoming environment possible. We try to expose students to things at school that they can relate to their own lives and that they will need in the world beyond. We are a technology-driven school with a 1:1 grant, though parents have the opportunity to opt out of the loaned device, so we try to provide an alternative form of technology for those students to keep it fair.
