My name is Caroline Kelner.  I am originally from Alberta, Canada but spent my childhood moving south from the suburbs of Chicago, to Denver and then finally San Antonio.  I went to The University of Texas (Hook Em!) and received my degree in All-Level Special Education. I taught in Chicago Public Schools my first 4 years before moving back to Texas in 2011, where I did a year as an ABA Therapist.  

I am thrilled to be starting my 19th year of teaching and my 14th year at Barton Creek Elementary. There truly is no greater place to be.  Over the years, I have had the opportunity to co-teach alongside some of BCE's greatest educators, and I am so excited to continue my journey here as a Campus Support Specialist & Interventionist.  Teaching students the tools they need to learn to read gives me so much joy. 

As an educator, I strongly believe in forming a relationship that lets students know they are safe to take risks in their learning and that I will be there with them every step of the way.  I really look forward to making this year the best it can possibly be.  Thank you for your support and trust!
