McBride Elementary

This is my nineteenth year of teaching special education with St. Helens School District.  I am a graduate of Portland State University’s dual inclusion graduate teaching program.  I am licensed as a highly qualified teacher in both special education and general education, with my Masters degree in special education.

I provide specially designed instruction within the Intermediate Structured Learning Center, one of St. Helens School Districts specialized special education classrooms.  The Intermediate Structured Learning Center is a specialized program that provides services to students whose Individual Education Plan (IEP) demonstrates a need for intensive services in: academic areas, adaptive skills, life skills, social skills, emotional and communication development. 

I have three children, John, Paisley, and Emry.  Emry and Paisley attend school at St. Helens Middle School as 6th graders and John is now attending the High School as a 10th grader.  We enjoy riding our horses, roping, hiking, camping, fishing, and most of all having fun! 

I absolutely love what I do!!  I am truly fortunate to have a fabulous staff joining me in the Intermediate Learning Center.  But most of all, we have amazing children and families we get to work with on a daily basis!! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
