About The Class:
Welcome to Zebulon G.T. Magnet Middle School. I am so pleased to have your child in my class this year.
My name is Ms. Sherita Atkinson and I will be your child’s Behavior Support/Social Skills teacher. This is my 15th year as an educator. I have been at Zebulon Middle for 11 of those years. I received my undergraduate degree from Winston-Salem State University and my Master’s Degree from the University of Phoenix.
For those that are new to this program, this is a course designed to help your child develop and practice skills that will help him/her be successful in general education classes as well as within the community. We discuss ways to manage and control anger when in situations as well as appropriate ways to interact with our peers and adults. There may be times when we will go over questions about homework or do homework in the classroom, but this may not occur every day. This is a yearlong elective course. The overall objective is for your child to become responsible for his/her actions and learn to cope with situations that occur in everyday life that they may or may not like.
We do take field trips in my class as apart of students learning social skills, but information on that will follow once all details have been planned.
I also have a full time assistant, Mrs. Turner, who has been working with me for the past 3 years. She has a degree in Biology from Paine College and has worked at Zebulon for the past 10 years. There may be times that she will call you in regards to your child so I just wanted to make you aware of who she is.
I have an open door policy. Please feel free to drop by, call or send me an e-mail. My classroom number is 919-404-3630 ext 21094 and my e-mail address is satkinson@wcpss.net. I really look forward to working with you and your child to make this a very positive year.
