Note:

I am looking forward to teaching Spanish this year at Frankfort-Schuyler. It is important that students follow the classroom rules so that there is a positive learning environment in the classroom and everyone can be successful. In order to be successful, it is important that work inside the classroom be completed, as well as homework and studying after school. I am looking forward to working with parents and communicating with them about their child's progress. Hopefully you and your child will find that learning a foreign language is interesting, exciting, and very beneficial in today's global society.

I can be contacted by phone at 895-7719 or by email at dalbaugh@frankfort-schuyler.org 

I am available for extra help with students or communication with parents after school in room 108 from 2:45-3:20
