Suzanne Covington
Digital Teacher Librarian

"I get to see Mrs. Covington every week because she does a read-a-louds and some weeks she also does library and technology. She asks questions like, 'What is the kindest word that you can think of?' and then she calls on everyone who’s on the Zoom to give an answer. She teaches us coding, how to make mazes, about perspectives and even origami. Mrs. Covington always has a smile on her face and she's awesome!"

"COVID has been hard on my son. He misses his friends, going to movies, playdates, and parties. He misses his old life. Reading and making up his own stories has been a way to escape that, and I credit Suzanne with helping to spur his imagination. She has managed to keep kids engaged, reading, and talking in a time when it's easy to plop in front of the TV, zone out, and withdraw. "

Gabrielle Heier
Special Education

"Ms. Heier is truly an amazing teacher who always goes above and beyond no matter what she does. She cares about her students, both academically and personally, and they feel this. For our family, she has been the main staff support for our son and the main reason he has excelled both personally and academically. He has gone from struggling to adjust to various teaching styles, and struggling to manage his schedule and assignments, to truly excelling in school and becoming motivated and determined to be able to enroll in an honors class during his senior year (which he achieved)."

​

"Ms. Heier is able to adjust her teaching style to the needs of the student, and is able to connect with her students in a meaningful way. She earns the trust of her students, and is able to make a more positive impact as a result."
