Gifted and Talented

Hello Seven Hills Students and Families,

Welcome to the Gifted and Talented page! My name is Rachel Erlandsen, and I am the Gifted and Talented Teacher at the Bloomington Campus Elementary School. I graduated from Hamline University with my Bachelor's degree in both Elementary Education and Religion in 2017. This is my 6th year in education, and I am so thrilled to start my second year at Seven Hills!

You may notice the large Harvard University logo at the top of this page. Mrs. Jeffery, who now holds the role of Assistant Principal, made this the theme of the Gifted and Talented Classroom during her time as the Gifted and Talented Teacher. This image remains on this classroom webpage because, like Mrs. Jeffery, I hold the belief that this institution is a solid representation of the drive and passion that Gifted and Talented students bring to this classroom every day: the desire to go above and beyond, overcome challenges, and pursue knowledge.

I look forward to working with you and your student(s). I know that with cooperation and good communication we'll be able to ensure academic success for your student(s). If you need to contact me for any reason please feel free to email me at: rerlandsen@shpamn.org or call: 952-426-6000 Ext 814. I do not return calls during the school day but will contact you before or after school.

Sincerely,

Ms. Erlandsen
