Ja'Karie Miller, Instructional Assistant
Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, Ja’Karie Miller grew up throughout the Carolinas and began learning Russian as a child—something she still enjoys practicing today. Her passion for childcare runs deep, as she loves working with children and finds true purpose in helping shape the next generation. Ja’Karie believes that every child deserves encouragement, creativity, and care as they grow and learn. Outside of work, she enjoys exploring new restaurants, traveling to new places, and trying out all kinds of recipes—especially brunch, her favorite meal of the day. The gym is her safe space, where she recharges, finds balance, and stays motivated to bring her best self to everything she does.

I graduated from NC State in 2024 with a dual Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education along with a STEM concentration. I completed my student teaching at York and was lucky enough to be hired into the kindergarten team! I am from Charlotte, NC and moved to Raleigh when I started school at NC State. In my free time, I like to read, be outside, watch movies and spend time with my family and friends. I'm so excited for another year at York!

Ashley Dietrich, Kindergarten Teacher
I have an MEd. in early childhood education. I have a decade of experience working with young children from a hands-on interdisciplinary approach and creating and designing interest driven lessons for all types of learners. I am truly at home working with young children. I have worked with all types of students, specializing in helping students with behavioral and academic differences. With my background in ECS, I continue to learn and gain skills with each child I work with. Outside the school setting, I am a mother of three - Milly, Piper, and Beau. Being a mother and an educator brings fulfillment and a good night’s rest!

Abby Glembocki, Kindergarten Teacher
I graduated from NC State in 2016 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a STEM concentration. I completed my student teaching right here at York, and was lucky enough to be hired as a kindergarten teacher after I graduated! I have taught kindergarten at York ever since!
I think that students are most successful when the teacher works with the family as a team. With that being said, I love to communicate with families! Please email me if you ever have questions or concerns: aglembocki2@wcpss.net.
In my free time, I love shopping for new decorative items for my home, listening to country music, going to sporting events, and spending time with my family when they are in town.
