My name is Mrs. Kristin D’Amelio. I will be your child’s 4^th grade ELA teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. I have two children. My son Sam is a sixth grader at Dillard Drive Elementary and my daughter Ava, is a fourth grade SCES cougar! We also have a cuddly Goldendoodle named Scout. I grew up in a small town on the north shore of Massachusetts. My parents and grandparents are my role models. I always wanted to be just like my dad, who was a teacher and principal for 37 years. I went to Keene State College in New Hampshire, graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Elementary Education and Social Sciences. This is my 17^th year in the field of education and I am passionate about teaching and learning! I am super excited to make this the best year yet!
