Hi parents, welcome to the 2023/2024 school year. My name is Marianna Forese and I am beyond thrilled for this year! I am a first year teacher and as an alumna of NDA and a substitute teacher this past school year here at Notre Dame, I feel very grateful to teach Language Arts, Social Studies, and Religion to a great group of 3rd graders. I have receieved my B.A in Family Science & Human Development at Montclair State University. My goal as a teacher is to create a classroom environment in which my students are interested in their education and eager to learn. I strive to make learning enjoyable and have my students feeling accomplished, all while helping them achieve their academic and social goals. Please never hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns, as I am available through email and Class Dojo. Looking forward to an amazing school year!
