Hi!! My name is Rachel Tevebaugh. I am thrilled to be a part of the BPE family and can’t wait for the upcoming school year! I will be teaching Kindergarten and look forward to working with a great team. I went to Illinois State University where I earned my degree in early childhood education and received endorsements in ESL and special education.

Over the summer, I packed my bags and moved from Chicago, IL to Austin. In the last 7 years of my career I’ve taught pre-k, kindergarten and 1st grade in Chicago Public Schools and in the suburbs of Chicago. I can’t wait to build relationships with my students and families along with the BPE community. I am also looking forward to the Texas heat and no longer digging my car out of the snow! When I’m not teaching, my favorite things include spending time with my family, friends and enjoying summers in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin where most of my loved ones live. I also love working out, being outside and engaging in all things active! I can’t wait for the school year ahead and to meet everyone! See you all soon.
