Hello! My name is Alison Petri, and I teach second grade at Holy Cross Academy. I feel so blessed to be part of such an amazing school community! My previous teaching experience was with the NYC Department of Education where I taught in both general education and ICT classes. I earned my Master’s Degree in Childhood Education from St. John’s University and am certified in teaching Children with Disabilities. I am also a Certified Orton-Gillingham Classroom Educator.

As an educator, I believe every child learns differently and develops at a different pace. It is important to know every student well, which means knowing what type of learner they are and caring for their social and emotional needs. I believe in creating a safe, warm and engaging learning environment where children are never afraid to ask questions and know that mistakes are proof of trying! I want to build my students confidence and develop their love for learning.
