Welcome to Fourth Grade!!!
2023-2024 School Year
Dear Fourth Grade Families,
Hello! We wanted to provide an opportunity to speak to our families about the transition from Third to Fourth Grade. We will be honest to say that the transition this year will be challenging for all students with more demands to be independent, organized, and involved with the content and the daily tasks and assignments. However, we find that once they build their stamina and resiliency while using brain power throughout the day to complete tasks and assignments will allow this transition to occur sooner than later. The teachers have extensive experience and will support your student(s) during this transition, along with your help supporting and encouraging your child(ren) as they attend daily.
We are so excited for this coming year and cannot wait to meet your child! Listed are ways to connect with the expectations of fourth grade and what you can do this summer to ensure a smooth transition into this grade level. Have a great summer and see you in the Fall!
Fourth Grade Teachers
Hi! I’m Miss Reed! I teach ELA and social studies. This is going to be my third year teaching at Violet Elementary. I have had the opportunity to get to speak with some of you in the hallways and cannot wait to get to know you better next year! A little bit about me is I love traveling, spending time with family and playing with my dog Roo. I am looking forward to meeting you all next year!
Hi! My name is Dawn Rundell and I will be starting my 25th year of teaching this fall. I have been with Pickerington School District for my entire teaching career. Both of my daughters went through Pickerington Schools. I love teaching math and I am passionate about my math instruction! When not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family, playing softball and visiting any place with a beach! I look forward to meeting all of my new students this fall!
Hello!
My name is Lora Skirpan and this will be my 30th year of teaching students with disabilities (21 of those years have been teaching in Pickerington). In my spare time I like to ski, travel, horseback riding, going to or watching sporting events (Go Steelers!), playing golf (just learning), and spending time with family and friends! I have 2 Olde English Bulldogs, Lexi 9 years old and Gia who is 3 years old that I love spending time with!
