My name is Miss Phillips and I am honored to be your teacher this year. I received my Bachelor’s from Benedictine in Springfield in Elementary Education with endorsements in Language Arts and Social Studies. I obtained a Master’s degree from Benedictine University in Reading and Literacy K-12 with a Reading Specialist endorsement. I am a life-long learner, a mini doxie owner, and a new mommy to my baby girl named Harper.

I worked for 2 years at Waverly Junior High School teaching 6th grade. I also worked 1 year at Riverton as a long -term 4th grade sub. I look forward to a great year end of the year!

About Miss Phillips

Students will be bringing home a planner nightly for your perusal and signature. It will include what we worked on (in student friendly terms) as well as a daily summary, which will serve as a conversation
