Meet the Teacher

This year marks my 17^th full year of teaching. I taught in Raleigh for nine years and then taught in Atlanta for five years. Two years ago, I returned to NC and began teaching at South! I love being a part of the MGSD family. I have taught first, second, and third grades. I’ve enjoyed seeing children learn at different levels, but really love second grade!

I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland. I am a huge sports fan – especially NFL football. Go Ravens! I have been married to my husband, Mike, for seven years and we have two sons, Charlie (6) and Cooper (3). I attended college at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where I earned my Master’s degree in Elementary Education. I also have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from UMW.

Please don't hesitate to call the school at (704) 658-2650, email me at janetpypiak@mgsd.k12.nc.us, or send me a message on ParentSquare if you ever have any questions.
