We’re so excited to partner with you for a year full of learning, growth, and joy. In first grade, we believe that strong relationships between home and school are the foundation for student success. Your child is a capable, curious, and independent learner, and we are committed to nurturing their love of learning every step of the way.

Our team brings a variety of backgrounds and teaching experiences, but we are united by one core belief: children come first. We strive to create a supportive classroom community where students feel confident to take risks, learn from mistakes, and embrace challenges. As Carol Dweck reminds us, “The best thing [we] can do is to teach [our] children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.”

We’re honored to welcome you into our first grade family and can’t wait to watch your child grow and thrive this year!
