IMPORTANT DATES & INFORMATION:
NO SCHOOL March 14, 15, & 18!
New Hire - Welcome, Mrs. Mikus! 4th Grade 24-25
My name is Bailey Mikus and I’m so excited to be a Gator! I grew up in Lincoln and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in 2018. I’ve taught 5th and 6th grade in the last 6 years. Teaching 4th grade is where it all started for me when I student taught and I’m so happy to be in 4th grade again.
My husband and I moved to Omaha in 2018 so he could attend Medical School at UNMC. He is currently in residency at the Med Center as a physician in the Emergency Department. We absolutely love living in Millard and are thrilled to make this our permanent home.
In my free time I love to read, run, spend time with family + friends, & spoil my 4 year old Australian Shepherd, Murphy. Thank you for allowing me to join your community at Grace Abbott. I’m looking forward to the 2024-2025 school year! :)
From the Desk of Mrs. Buckman: Class Assignments for 2024-2025
It's that time of the year when we begin planning for next year! We will soon start developing class lists for next school year. The creation of class lists is a very important task that involves many educators and a great deal of thought. As we create our class lists, we consider the following criteria:
Balancing gender ratio
Incorporating different academic levels of students
Matching individual learning styles with teaching styles
Keeping the classroom social dynamic balanced
Although we would like to grant all requests, it would be impossible to do so and could possibly jeopardize the integrity of the process. If there are truly unusual circumstances that you feel must be addressed regarding your child’s placement for next year, please follow these guidelines:
1. Send an email request to Mrs. Buckman by March 29, 2024. Requests made after this point may not be considered.
2. Describe your child’s learning style and the type, not the name, of the teacher that would benefit your child. There must be an educational rationale for your request. “My older daughter had Mrs. Smith and really liked her,” is not an educationally sound reason.
Rest assured that we are very deliberate about formulating the class lists each year so that your child (and ALL children) have a positive, productive experience at Grace Abbott Elementary. Thank you for your support!
