Personal Information:
The Ghiloni household includes myself, my husband John and our three children: Christina, Michael, and Kara. Outside of school I love traveling and experiencing unique features of other places, getting caught up in a good book, cheering on the Red Sox and Patriots, and doing something active outside.
This is my twelfth year teaching seventh grade Language Arts, and I am very fortunate to have been here at Remington for ten of them. The environment, staff, and students make our school the best one I have experienced. Previous to teaching seventh grade, I taught at the high school and college levels, but I truly enjoy the energy and neverending new ideas that develop at the middle school level.
**Homework is posted each day in the classroom and on Edline. It is important that students take responsibilty for their learning and write it down each day in their assignment notebook. If no homework is assigned, students should write "None" in that day's section of their assignment notebook.**
