My name is Connie Del Monaco and I am a fifth grade teacher here at Glenside Middle School.  This will be my 39th year of teaching.  I have taught every grade from kindergarten through fifth grade.  I have been teaching in this district for over thirty years.  I have been teaching fifth grade for about ten years and it is one of my favorite grades to teach. My undergraduate degree is from Illinois State University and my master's degree is from Saint Xavier University. 

I have two sons. Nick is 35 years old and is married to Colleen.  They have two children, Brooklyn who is almost three ,and Tanner who is three months old.  My other son Alex is 25 years old.  I also have a cat who is my birthday buddy.  Her name is Tessa.

For the first day of school, students need to login to the Google Classroom which they should have received an invitation to and look for the link to Blackboard.
