Dear Parents,

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable summer.  I’ve been busy making plans for the school year and am very excited about working with my new students and you!

For those whom I haven’t met, I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you by giving you a brief background sketch of my teaching career.

After graduation for Father Ryan High School, I attended the University of Mississippi where I graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts degree in Elementary Education.  While playing on the varsity women’s golf team, I earned Academic All- SEC honors.

My teaching career began with the Metro-Davidson County school system.  During my eight years at McGavock Elementary I taught first, second, and third grades.  My classes included traditional, multi-age, nongraded, inclusive, holistic, and classes that looped.  Since 2000, I have taught first grade here at Christ the King.

I have been fortunate to receive several professional distinctions.  Included are the following:  in 1996, the Channel 5 “Golden Apple” award; in 2000, “Teacher of the Year” at McGavock Elementary and “Teacher of the Year” by the Donelson-Hermitage Chamber of Commerce.  In 2001, I received “Teacher of the Year” from Christ the King and the Channel 2 “Educator of the Week” in 2006. 

I look forward to forming an educational partnership with you and your children.  If you ever have any questions or concerns the easiest way to reach me is at stephanie.wyatt@ctk.org. I will do my best to contact you by the end of the day.

Sincerely,
Stephanie Wyatt
