Welcome! I’m Mrs. Krystal Claire C. Portada, and I’m excited to welcome you to our third-grade class! This will be my fourth school year at Everetts Elementary STEM Academy.

Third grade is a milestone year where scholars strengthen their reading, writing, and math skills, explore exciting science and social studies topics, and grow as independent learners. In North Carolina, third grade also marks the beginning of statewide testing, helping scholars show what they’ve learned and prepare for future success. In our classroom, we will work together, support one another, and take on challenges with a positive attitude. 

I look forward to an amazing 2025-2026 school year of learning, discovery, and achievement for every scholar!
