Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!
A Little About Me
This is my 24th year at Bednarcik. Yes, that means I have been here since the first year!! And I wouldn't have it any other way. 😃 I received my bachelor's degree from Illinois State University in Special Education and my masters as a Reading Specialist at Aurora University. I case manage IEPs for 7th and 8th grade students, teach 7th grade English Language Arts and co-teach 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts classroom. I also work with the aides in supporting other classes that students with IEPs are in.  Â
I grew up in Aurora and currently reside there with my 3 children, ages 16, 14, and 6.  I love this community and extremely value my job as a teacher here. I have worked in the special education department since we opened Bednarcik in 2002, and I am extremely proud of how far we have come and all of the wonderful things we have done over the years. It truly is the place to BE!
