Sherie Austin

Mrs. Austin 2011-2012 - Working Collaboratively with Social Studies and Science

Welcome to a brand new school year at Palmer. 8 -29 -2011            
                                                                                                        
          

 

 

It has been great so far.  Many children have already made new friends and met new teachers that they like.  You will always find your child actively engaged at Palmer Middle school!  There isn't a day that goes by that there isn't something interesting going on that they are learning and having a hands on experience.

You should be able to contact me if you have any questions or concerns at my email, sherie.austin@cobbk12.org

You may also contact the collaborative teachers that I work with this year!  Here is our email, but don't forget to go on the Cobb County School, Palmer website, and go to the individual teacher's blog for up to date information.  You should be able to put in your email, and then updates will be sent to you on most of them.   cobbk12.org/palmer
