Welcome Parents! A Little About Me My name is Mandy Sipe and this is my 13 th year of teaching. I have a masters degree in Elementary Education from Western Illinois University. I am highly qualified to teach Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies to students grade K through 8. I love teaching in a variety of ways, from using songs and movements, to interactive activities on the Smartboard, to group and partner learning situations. When you walk in our room you just never know what youre going to see!

If your child is normally a bus rider but comes up to me and says they are supposed to be a car rider and they have no note, I will send them home on the bus!
