My name is Elena QuiñonesHanson and this is my second year at Washburn. I am very happy to return and I am looking forward on having another wonderful year. This school year I'll be teaching 4 classes. Two of these classes would be Math Strategies and two Readiness for College classes.
A little about me: I have been teaching for the last 29 years (25 in Minneapolis) and last July I went to Lima, Peru to celebrate my 30th aniversary from graduating from college. I am originally from Lima and I am bilingual (Spanish-English). My extended family lives in Lima and I am able to enjoy my parents every time I go and visit (which I try to do at least once a year). I have two children, my son who is 20 and is in college and my daughter who is soon turning 18 and is starting college this fall.
I am looking forward to meeting and working with all my students. If you need to contact me you may email me at elena.quinoneshanson@mpls.k12.mn.us
If a parent or student wants to contact me please do so from 8:10 to 9:10 am (Wednesday from 8:10 to 9:00); or 12 to 1:00 (Wednesday 12:16 to 1:16). After school hours are 3:05 to 3:55. Please be aware that I might be attending meetings during these hours so call ahead of time to schedule a meeting. Students can always drop by and see if I am available.
I will be available for students that need extra help on Thursdays from 3:05 to 3:55. Students are welcome to drop by during this period as they need to.
If a student needs help at other hours they may make an appointment.
