You’ll meet the teacher… before school even begins!
Prior to the start of the school year, our teacher visits each student in their home. The visit allows you and your child to meet the teacher individually, get to know her, ask questions and talk about the approaching school year. Mrs. Scherpenisse brings a special craft or activity that she and your child will work on together during her visit. We find this unique home visit practice helps to alleviate any anxieties that children might have about starting school, and gets everyone excited about the journey ahead.
Vicky Tejada: Our Teacher’s Assistant
Mrs Tejada (think “teh-yah-da) is our teacher’s assistant. Along with her wonderful smile and sense of humor, she brings a wealth of experience and training to our classroom! She is a knowledgeable childhood educator who has worked in both early childhood and elementary school classrooms.
