Welcome 7th Graders!
I'm excited to work with this year's 7th grade class on advancing your writing skills, preparing you for the rigours of high school and beyond!
As your ELA teacher, I'll guide you through assignments and work with you on improvement techniques. In 7th grade ELA, we’ll be focusing on a variety of literary and informational texts including, but not limited to, The Giver, Written in Bone, Behind the Scenes, and various memoirs.
Throughout the year, it is important to have a communicative relationship. If at any time you have questions or concerns, please contact me at [email protected]. We’ll also stay in touch with your parents regarding student work through OnCourse or JCampus.
I'm thrilled to be starting on this year’s journey with you! I look forward to watching you learn, grow and have a fantastic time in 7th grade!
Find the weekly class agenda in your student's oncourse resources!

About Mrs. Beard
This is my fourth year teaching and I'm so happy to continue my career working with the students of Ponchatoula Jr. High School! I'm from Hammond, and a Southeastern Louisiana University graduate. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in the communiction/public relations field, so writing has always been near and dear to my heart. I can't wait to share my love of writing and literature with you all!
