Hello!

I am so excited to be in my second year at Pioneer Middle School this year. I taught math at Hanford West High School for five years before I started teaching 8th grade math here last year, and let me tell you, I absolutely LOVE it here.

STUDENTS & FAMILIES: You can reach me via email at barcellost@puesd.net and I will always do my best to get back to you within 48 hours Monday through Friday. I plan to hold lunch tutoring sessions daily except for Thursdays during the first 20 minutes of lunch, and I can host after-school tutoring sessions if requested. 

EDUCATION: I graduated from Sierra Pacific High School and attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for my Bachelors degree. I began teaching at Hanford West right after I graduated from Cal Poly, and I obtained my teaching credential and Masters in Education from Brandman University. I learned so much in the past six years of teaching, and I am so excited to continute learning and growing alongside my students. 

EXTRA-CURRICULARS: I am the advisor of the new Adventure Club for 7th and 8th graders here on campus! We took an awesome trip to Yosemite National Park last spring, I'm looking forward to seeing what more we can do this upcoming school year. I also host educational tours around the world for students, not affiliated with Pioneer school district or any other district, I do this independently with EF Tours. My travel blog is here if you'd like more info: Travel Blog. It definitely needs some updating.. I tend to fall behind in the blog. You can follow me on instagram at mrs.barcellos.champlin to see what some of the tours look like. You can also email me at teachertraveler22@gmail.com for more information on upcoming trips. :)

I'm so happy to be a part of the Pioneer community!
