• Mr. Justin Risch
     
    Overview:

    Hello Students and Parents and welcome to my teacher page!

    For those parents that I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet,

    my name is Mr.Risch and I am one of two 6th Grade math teachers

    at Carr Lane. As we prepare for an unprecedented school year,

    I want you to know that I am a resource as we

    work together to make sure your student receives an excellent education.

    To make sure I teach your 6th grade student, I teach the following homerooms:

    Mr. Risch (mine)

    Ms. Kosinski (ELA)

    Mr. Dillard (Social Studies)

    I will post all homework on Tyler SIS (my online gradebook). Students will turn in

    their homework assignments the following day. If you or any of you have questions

    or need help with the assignments, you can reach me at justin.risch@slps.org! Please

    let me know if there is anything I can do to help, we are all in this together. I cannot

    wait to get to know all of your children! 

    Best,

    Mr. Risch
