Miss Vacco's Class

Meet the Teacher

Hello, my name is Dainey Vacco and I'll be your child's teacher this year! I graduated from Valparaiso University in May of 2021 with a Bachelors in Elementary Education and minors in Psychology and Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (TESOL). I completed my student teaching in Duneland at Bailly Elementary School in 4th grade!

I am from Bartlett, IL, but moved to Valparaiso in 2021 after falling in love with the area while attending college. I come from a family of teachers. My mom, sister-in-law, and now my older brother are all teachers. I guess my little brother (firefighter) and dad (Chase) didn't get the teaching memo haha!

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Ever since I was little, I loved volunteering and working with kids. I love finding new ways to get students excited and curious about learning. I can't wait to get to know your child over the school year and help them grow!
