About Mrs. Quast
I began my career in education as a paraprofessional in the Vancouver School District, having the opportunity to support students with disabilities, provide language services to English Language Learners and to teach reading interventions in English and Spanish. After completing my degree in elementary education and student-teaching in 3rd grade in Evergreen Public Schools, I continued teaching in Evergreen as a 1st grade teacher. I then worked as a math specialist and an English Language Learner (ELL) program specialist in Vancouver Public Schools at the building and district level, where I earned my National Board Certification as an English as a New Language Specialist. Five years ago I had the privilege to teach a 3/4 split here at South Ridge, before having the chance to move into my new role as the Interventions and Supports Specialist, where I serve students who qualify for Title I/LAP (reading) and MLL (multilingual learner) support.

I am so excited to have the opportunity to support students and teachers again this year through Title I/LAP and ELL services. As a Ridgefield High graduate, resident, and Roadrunner mother, I'm thrilled to be able to give back to this community.
