Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! My name is Rueilian Kao, and students call me Kao Laoshi (Ms. Kao). I am thrilled to be your child’s Transitional Kindergarten teacher this year!

With over a decade of experience as a Mandarin Immersion elementary educator, I am dedicated to providing a high-quality educational experience. My classroom is a safe, inclusive space where every student is valued, respected, and loved. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education.

Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and painting.

To my young scholars:
I care deeply about each of you. My goal is to encourage you to be the best version of yourself and to support you every step of the way. I am committed to helping you learn and grow both inside and outside the classroom. You each have unique gifts, strengths, and talents—I can’t wait for you to share them with your classmates and with me. Always remember: you are uniquely and wonderfully you!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
I warmly invite you to partner with me in creating a positive classroom environment that nurtures social-emotional growth and supports high academic achievement. Together, we can make this a joyful and enriching year for your child.
