Who+is+teaching+my+child?

Who is teaching my child? You! You are your child's most important teachers. Remember that they are always learning from what you say and do.



I am your child's third grade classroom teacher.

My name is Dana LaQuay-Butrym.

Your child calls me Ms. LaQuay, but parents may call me, Dana.

This is my 9th year teaching third grade in ASW.

I have a B.S. in Elementary Education and I'm a certified NY State Teacher.

I have also earned my M.Ed. in Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

Last year, I completed a Literacy Coaching Training and had the opportunity to begin coaching other teachers in teaching literacy. This is my 13th year as a teacher.
