Reading is the key to Success!
Welcome to Mrs. McClardy's Webpage!
 
 
It is an honor to work with your children in English/Language Arts this school year.  Here at Jean Childs Young Middle School, we believe 'Every Child is a Gifted Child' and I strive to assist students in discovering their gifts.  In Language Arts/ Reading, I expect my students to become proficient and avid readers, skilled writers, self motivated learners, and critical thinkers.  I also expect my students to develop an extensive and useful vocabulary. I am looking forward to another  great year full of learning.
 
 
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
 
 
Thank you!
