Biography
About Ms. Guarini
My name is Ms. Guarini and I will be your child's First Grade teacher this year! Thank you for sharing this crucial year with me. I look forward to watching your child grow and learn all year long! Before teaching I attended Cabrini College in Pennsylvania. This is my 11th year here at Lawrence school. Previously I taught Kindergarten and first grade for five years at a Charter School in North Philadelphia. Fun fact: My sister is the art teacher at Burlington City High School. When I am not at Lawrence, I live in Cinnaminson, NJ. I LOVE animals and the beach. My family has a beach house in Margate, NJ. The beach is my favorite place to be! I also enjoy going to Eagles games, spending time with my family, and volunteering at my favorite animal shelters. I recently had a baby boy last school year! His name is Geno. I look forward to getting to know all of you!

PARENT SQUARE: This year I am using Class Dojo to encourage important skills, like working hard and participating. I will not be able to use it to communicate with you. Parent Square is our primary source of communication. Please make sure you are on Parent Square. It’s the easiest way for you to see how your child is doing at school and to get in touch with me.
