Miss Atchley’s Classroom

Hi, my name is Miss Atchley! I am going to be your child’s 3rd grade teacher this year! 

This will be my first year teaching and I am looking forward to working with parents and students to make this a wonderful school year!

Second grade was the school year for me where I first realized what I wanted to be when I was older. I always stuck with it. I would teach my younger brother with my old school books, play school at recess, etc. Since then I have worked hard to fulfil my childhood dream to be a teacher. 

I have lived in Vigo County my whole life and was a student in the VCSC from elementary to high school. I began my teaching experience in Vigo County as a teacher’s assistant at Dixie Bee my junior and senior year of high school. I graduated December 2021 from Indiana State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I became a long-term substitute teacher at Hoosier Prairie. I covered maternity leaves for a teacher in 2nd grade and 5th grade. I have had experience in classrooms at Honey Creek, Dixie Bee, Hoosier Prairie, Ouabache, Ben Franklin, and Fuqua. After all my experience in classrooms throughout Vigo County, I am delighted to now have my own classroom to build relationships with students and help them blossom over the school year! 

Please feel free to get in contact with me at anytime throughout the school year! I will send out weekly newsletters with your child and will also post reminders for important events on Class Dojo.
