Hi, my name is Shannon Able. This is my 5th year as a teacher at Northeast. I love being a Northeast Eagle, there is no better place to teach or learn than Northeast! I was born and raised here in Parker. I attended Northeast as a student, and I am excited to be back! I graduated from Colorado State University with my degree in Early Childhood Education and an endorsement in Elementary Education. Go Rams! I also have a master's in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University. This will be my 9th year teaching. My first year, I taught kindergarten in Loveland, Colorado, and the last 8 years, I taught 3rd grade. 

I am the oldest of 3 and have two younger brothers. 

In my free time, I enjoy reading a good book, practicing yoga, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. I love to play and spend time with my family's French Bulldog, Obi, and my English Golden Retriever, Zoey! I am a big sports fan. I love watching the Broncos, Avalanche, Rockies, and my brothers play sports. My happy place is the beach in Cape Cod.

I love teaching and have a passion for creating a respectful, warm, and fun learning community in my classroom!

Hi, my name is Jessica Conley. I am so excited to be teaching 3rd grade at Northeast! I graduated with my bachelor's from Northeastern State University and am currently working on my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction through Grand Canyon University.

I grew up in Oklahoma, but have lived in Colorado for over a decade. My husband and I have been together for 20 years and have 2 amazing kids that keep us very busy. We enjoy hiking, going to concerts, and watching sports. I also enjoy going to trivia and reading a good book. 

In the classroom I love to have fun while learning. I believe in supporting students to advocate for themselves, ask questions, and learn through mistakes.

Hello!  My name is Tara Stalker.  I am excited to be teaching third grade again this school year!  I have a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of New Mexico.  After staying home to raise my own children, I have been blessed to be a part of the wonderful Northeast family for the last twelve years.  

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family. On our days together we enjoy cooking, hiking, biking, and exploring Colorado.  

Within the classroom, I encourage all my students to try their best and to embody our Northeast character traits:  integrity, compassion, collaboration, craftsmanship, resiliency and stewardship.  Through engaging activities, I inspire a love of learning. I enjoy goal setting with my students and allow them to be an active learner in the classroom.  I believe all students are important and valuable members of our classroom and the Northeast community.

I am always happy to help, answer any questions you might have, and need volunteers in the classroom. Please feel free to email me at tara.stalker@dcsdk12.org. I look forward to hearing from you!
