WELCOME

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you!

Our classroom is a mistake-making, laughter-sharing, independence-building, brain-stretching, sort of place. We are a community of learners that will support one another and lift one another up as we show grace and compassion to those we encounter.

MEET MISS ATKINS

I was born & raised locally in Henrico County before earning my degree from William & Mary (Go Tribe!). In 2019, I earned my National Board Certification and I recently completed gifted coursework at the University of Richmond. After teaching at both Rivers Edge and Gayton, I am excited to begin my 7th year at Springfield Park!

Teaching is one of my passions, but I also have a strong love for sports and family. Both the fall & winter seasons keep me busy with college football & basketball, keeping stats for several Virginia universities. I also enjoy attending live theater & am always up for a trip! I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences with students this year as they also share their passions with me.
