Welcome to Kindergarten! We are the Centerville Stars!

Please visit our school website at: []

Thank you for visiting my website! This website was designed to give you lots of information about our classroom, Kindergarten expectations, and answer questions that you might not even think to ask! There will be websites for your child to visit and a calendar of events to keep you informed. I have included a page for Language Arts and Math skills that we will work on this year.

About Me

My name is Susan Snyder. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I received by teaching certification at Hood College. I have been teaching in Frederick County for nine years. Prior to teaching I was a stay at home mom to my daughter and helped my husband with his business. Prior to that, I worked for IBM for 12 years. I am currently taking graduate classes at Hood College. I have been teaching Kindergarten at Centerville since the first year we opened. Working with your children is the best job in the world!

Volunteering We love having parents to volunteer in our school. Please attend a volunteer orientation if you have never volunteered in our school. (For information on volunteer orientation, please call the main office on 240-566-0100.)In my classroom I use volunteers to help students that need extra support, students that need above grade level challenges, preparing materials for future lessons, to listen to students read after reading group. and crowd control. Please be mindful that you will be in our classroom to help ALL students. Students may not hang on you, sit on your lap, or cry when you leave. If you think that your child cannot follow those rules, please think about volunteering later in the year.
