Dear Parents and Students,
I am so excited to have the privilege of being your teacher this year! I want to introduce myself before the school year starts on September 8th. My name is Mrs. Porter and I will be your fourth grade teacher this year! My name is Katie, but for as long as I can remember I have been called KC, which are my initials. Our family moved to Dillon a little over eight years ago. I have three children and my husband, Tucker, works for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, and went to Colorado Christian University. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. It is crazy to believe that my teaching career began 20 years ago. I first started teaching in Golden, CO where I taught 4th and 5th grade. My husband and I then moved to Bozeman for my husband to get his graduate degree at Montana State in 2010. While living in Bozeman, I taught 3rd grade for Bozeman Public Schools. When my husband graduated from M.S.U. he accepted a job with the BLM in Idaho. We lived there for 5 years and I stayed home with our three children. We have always loved Southwest Montana and jumped at the opportunity to return to this special place. This is the beginning of my 8th year teaching at Parkview.
4th grade is a challenging year of growth for students. I will try to create clear communication and expectations. Together, we can make this a successful year for your student! I am available for questions and concerns. My contact information is listed below. Please feel free to contact me at any time. If I am available I will answer, and if I am not feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
