Hi!  My name is Mrs. Van Voy and I teach Speech and Language at Glenwood Elementary School.  I have been working in the Conejo Valley Unified School district for 7 years.  I received my Bachelors of Science degree at Arizona State University (go Sun Devils) and my Masters of Arts degree at University of California, Santa Barbara.  I am the proud mom of three kids (four, if you count my husband).  They keep me entertained, as do the wonderful students here at Glenwood.  If you have questions about your child's Speech and Language Program, please don't hesitate to contact me.

 

Articulation Students:

Please show your parents how great you can use your correct speech sounds when telling them about the story you are reading in class this week.

The only way to establish good speech habits is to practice!  You should be completing one homework page each week.  If you lose your page or would like another one, come and get one before school or during recess.  Remember, you get a bonus sticker for each completed page you return with your parent's signature.

Speech Improvement Class

A Speech Improvement Class has recently been introduced for students who have mild articulation errors (misprounounce only 1 sound such as /s/, /r/, /l/, /sh/, or /th/). This  is a pilot class that is being offered as part of the general education curriculum (no IEP necessary).  It involves intensive instruction two times a week for 30 minutes for only 6-8 weeks (attendance and homework will be mandatory).  Please speak to your child's classroom teacher or contact me directly in order to determine if this program would be appropriate for your child.  A waiting list is forming now!

 Language Students: 

You may earn a bonus sticker when you can tell me a grammatically correct sentence using the FUN WORD of the week! 

Weekly Fun Word:
