Welcome Message

Hello,

     Welcome Dennis Township families! My name is Ms. Donna Givens. I have been with the Dennis Township School district for many years. My credentials include traditional, advanced certifications in general education as well as special education. I am also an Orton-Gillingham therapist working within the basic skills realm for various grade levels. The Orton-Gillingham approach is a direct, explicit, sequential, multisensory, structured, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling.  Also, as a Basic Skills instructor, I facilitate mathematics and literacy support at various grade levels. The goal is to provide targeted support and instruction that cultivates and enhances language arts and mathematics achievement.  

     Please know as our students attend school, I, as well as my colleagues, deeply care about each and every one of them! I am guided by a passion for helping students reach their potential, and I wholeheartedly believe in them every day, always!

     Whatever the capacity I am teaching in, I thoroughly enjoy such. I look forward to a fantastic year with students, parents, and colleagues!

Best wishes to all!

Donna Givens
