Kindergarten Soft Placement
Boone Trail will be adopting Kindergarten Soft Placement for the 23-24 school year. For the first few days of school, students will rotate between all of the kindergarten classrooms and will interact with all students and staff. During this time, staff will be noting student needs, friendships, and interactions, and ensuring "right fit" classrooms for all students.
You should have received an email earlier this week with your check-in/check-out teacher information for August 21-24.
This Thursday, you will find out who your homeroom teacher is. Join us Thursday night for Kindergarten Meet the Teacher from 5:15-6:15 p.m. in the Kindergarten Building!

Meet our School Support Interventionist!
- A favorite part of my job is partnering with others in order to help students become independent in their ability to self-regulate so they can remain in their learning environment and thrive as learners.
- I provide support by identify a focus area and coordinating success plans for students. Then, related strategies are introduced, taught, and practiced. This teaching may be either 1-1, within small groups, or by pushing into the classroom.
- The absolute best part of my job is celebrating a student’s hard work when a goal has been reached!
- Missouri has always been my home. I have been teaching over twenty years. This is my twelfth year at WSD and my second year as the School Support Interventionist (SSI) at BTE. I have a background teaching both lower and upper level grades, as well as, Special Education.
- I’m married. Together, we have five children, five grandkids, and two spoiled fur babies. I look forward to the start of a wonderful new school year.
- I graduated from UMSL. My postgraduate education came from National Louis University and Truman. I have a regular education certification for teaching children from birth-6th grade, as well as, a special education certification for teaching students from K-12.
