Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year!
Dear Forestdale Families,
I am Julie Durmis, your child's library teacher. I look forward to being a guide for your child for print and non-print sources, nurturing a passion for books and reading, and facilitating their independent learning.
I received my Masters in Education Library All Levels K-12 at Cambridge College in 2012. In the past, I have taught at the Saugus Public Schools and the Dennis-Yarmouth Early Literacy Program. And I have spent a lot of time at primary and secondary learning commons. This is my third year as the Library Teacher for Sandwich Public Schools. I receive ongoing monthly professional development around various topics related to literacy instruction and participate in school library and science information sessions.
