Welcome to Fourth Grade! I am thrilled to begin another year here at Oakland Elementary and excited to have your child in my class. It will be a wonderful year! I look forward to partnering with you as we encourage your child to work hard, grow academically, and always do their best each day.

I am originally from Minnesota and moved to Tennessee in 2000. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from St. Cloud State University. Throughout my years with CMCSS, I have had the opportunity to teach grades 3 through 5.

My husband and I have four amazing sons. One will be attending Pellissippi State Community College in the fall, two that attend the Univeristy or Tennessee, Knoxville, and our oldest is a civil/structural engineer in Oak Ridge. As a family, we enjoy traveling, golfing, playing tennis, and fishing.

This will be a fantastic year!

At Oakland Elementary, we use a positive behavior matrix to promote student awareness and accountability in expected behaviors.  This matrix is displayed in every classroom, throughout the building, and outlined in the OES Student Handbook.

 

Our OWLS Matrix is designed to clearly define schoolwide expectations, helping students understand what positive choices look like in different settings.  These expectations are also linked to Class Dojo, which is consistently used by classroom teachers, special area teachers, support staff, and administrators to provide consistency for our students and with parent communication. 

The four overarching student-friendly expectations are:

  1. O – Own Your Actions
  2. W – Work Hard Together
  3. L – Listen to Learn
  4. S – Stay Safe

These expectations are broken down, explicitly taught, and reinforced daily to help students succeed both in and out of the classroom.
