Welcome! My name is Mr. Pinto, and I am excited to be teaching English Language Arts for my 6th year (2nd at CCMS).  A little about me: I live in Moyock with my wife and our two daughters, Alexandria (2) and Evelyn (1), and dogs Willoughby and Sterling. I love to read, watch football, listen to music, and spend time with my family. I also love to play and teach the game of chess, and this will be my second year coaching CCMS's competitive chess team! 

I am looking forward to meeting all of my new students and getting to know how they think and learn. My goal for my students is to teach them beyond the required state standards--to think critically and apply their learning both in and out of the classroom. To this end, my class will integrate technology, rigorous texts, and project based learning, with an emphasis on writing and higher order thinking. I have high expectations for all of my students.
