Meet Mrs. Zeibert

Due to COVID 19, we did not take a vacation this year. The pictures above are from our family vacation 2 years ago. We usually travel to the Smoky Mountains, but this particular year we tried Colorado.

Hello! Thanks for visiting our classroom site! I am excited to be your child's 6th grade English Language Arts teacher.

I grew up in the wonderful town of Jerseyville, Illinois. After high school, I went to college on a cross country and track scholarship at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with middle school endorsements in Language Arts and Social Studies.

Upon graduation, I moved back home and was hired as a technology teacher at Southwestern Middle School. On August 2, 2003, I married my husband Joe. We just celebrated 18 years of marriage!!! After getting married, I moved to the Springfield area and was hired by the Pawnee School District to teach Junior High Social Studies. I spent two incredible years with the students here before I decided to be a stay at home mom. That was a difficult decision to make because I absolutely loved this school district. I felt like I was giving up my dream job.

Joe and I now live in Rochester with our three daughters. Colleen is 16 years old and a junior. Brooke is 14 and is freshman. My youngest, Ashley, just turned 13 and and is in 8th grade. We also cherish our 10 year old Brittany Spaniel, Dolly.

After my youngest started kindergarten, I started subbing in several school districts, as well as being an individual aide at Pawnee. During the 2014-2015 school year, I taught at Tri-City Elementary. After that year, I left Tri-City to become a Pawnee Indian again. I am so thankful to be back working at this school district. I am getting ready to start my tenth year of teaching.

As a mom of three and a teacher, I don't really get too much free time. One activity I try to make time for is running. My other interests include playing basketball, reading, the outdoors, and spending time with family.

We're a team, so please contact me with any questions or concerns that may arise!

I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Zeibert
