I am very excited for another year at McHenry Middle School. I graduated from Carthage College, and obtained my Master's Degree through the University of St. Francis. I love to read, cook, and go boating & fishing with my husband. I have one daughter named Charlotte who is 5 years old and starting Kindergarten, and a 2 year old daughter named Ellie! Mr. Anderson is a 6th grade Science teacher at Parkland School. I have a black lab mix named Grace. I am looking forward to a fantastic school year!

Social Studies materials will include a textbook and Google Classroom.

Parents: please let me know if you would like to be added as a "guardian" on your student's Google Classroom. You would receive weekly emails from Google about their assignments and materials.

Hello!  My name is Mrs. Covarrubias, and I would like to welcome you to middle school.  I have been teaching middle school language arts for 17 years, and I can’t wait to meet a new a group of students. I graduated from Illinois State University in 2006 and immediately began working on my Masters degree in Teaching and Leadership from St. Xavier University, finishing in 2008.  Since then, I have also completed my Masters degree in Educational Technology from Concordia University.  Outside of school, my son is involved in football, wrestling, and baseball, so he keeps us very busy.  Tyler is starting sixth grade this year too, and I can hardly believe how fast time has gone!  My husband is also in education, but he doesn't spend too much time in the classroom, because he is a principal.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year!

Welcome to McHenry Middle School! My name is Shari Kagan, I am excited to be your students math teacher at MMS. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with my Bachelors degree and I earned my Master’s in Teaching and Leadership from St. Xavier University. I had a busy summer with my three children (Nathan, Jacob, and Hannah). Outside of school, I volunteer in my community with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the Marengo Union Library, and at my church. When we have some free time, I enjoy reading, bike riding and hiking with my family. I hope you enjoy your first year at MMS!

Welcome to MMS!  I am the learning resource specialist on the 6 white team. I also teach a direct instruction math class.  I am beginning my 28th year teaching at MMS. I graduated from Elmhurst University and received my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University.  I also obtained my Administrative Certificate from Aurora University.  

In my spare time I enjoy being outside gardening, boating, swimming, and reading a good book.  I also love spending time with my family, my husband Bill and my twin sons, Jeff and Joe. I am looking forward to working with you and helping make your first year at MMS an amazing experience. 

Hi, I am the assistant on the  6th grade white team, so I get to do a lot of cool things. I have been at MMS for years in self-contained classrooms, but because of a lapse in judgement, I was released into the wild. Now I get to talk and hang out with all of  6th grade.

I am one of the founding members of the MMS Drama Guild, so if you can't find me, I’m probably on stage. I truly love the MMS stage because magic happens there.

I am easy to spot- my hair is always changing colors! I take my spirit day serious . So let's dress weird and show are school spirit!  I am excited to be the youngest on our team and I feel privileged to learn from such great mentors. Please do not be scared to reach out. I am here to help! This year is going to be a Fabulous !                      

My Motto :   When in doubt, freak them out.
