Hi!  I am Dawn McKee & I, along with my parapros, Crystal Blanchard and Roxann Gordon-Wilks teach the Preschool class for children with special needs.  I have been teaching since 1986, & preschool is definitely my favorite age level!

Special education has been a part of my life for most of my personal life!  My younger brother had profound physical and cognitive disabilities, as well as heart defects and a seizure disorder.  I saw the difficulties my parents had trying to find services for him & decided that I would do what I could to provide the best services for my students, as well as, pass on any information that might be helpful to you as a parent of a child with special needs.

I was born a New Jersey girl who moved to South Florida while in high school, and we became Georgians in 2000.  I attended University of Miami and graduated with my Bachelor's Degree from Florida Atlantic University way back in 1985!  I went back to school to earn my Masters Degree at Southern Wesleyan University in 2009.  I have been married to Ron since 1988 and we have three grown sons, three daughter-in-laws, and three grandsons (two of them have attended school here at Blue Ridge!)  We are loyal Chicago Cubs fans (my husband is from Illinois) and spend lots of time at Little League baseball games!  We also love the outdoors and try to camp as often as possible!
