Meet the Teacher

Hello First Grade Family and Friends!  

I’m Mrs. Hetal Thakkar, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This is my 13th year teaching at Middleton, but my first year teaching 1st grade, and I can’t wait for all the learning and fun we’ll have together.

Skokie has truly become a part of me. I love being part of such a loving, welcoming, and supportive community. I was born and raised right here in the Chicagoland area! I grew up cheering for all of our Chicago sports teams! I enjoy spending time outside with my family and trying new restaurants! 

I’m looking forward to getting to know each of you and making this a wonderful year together!
