Orientation

Sandersville's Primary Orientation night will be:

Thursday August 8th at 6:00


I hope that you will be able to come to see the classroom, meet some of your classmates, and of course meet me! There will also be some important paperwork that needs to be filled out prior to the first day of school.

If you are able to bring school supplies with you to orientation night, it would be great! This way I will be able to get them put away, and the first day of school won't be quite so hectic!

Hope to see you there!

If for some reason, you are unable to attend, please send me an email so we can make a plan to meet and get all of the information completed before the first day of school.

All About Me

Hi! My name is Ms. Hylen! I am so excited to be your first grade teacher this year!

I hope you have had a great, fun filled summer. Mine has been great. I have spent many days relaxing and reading by the pool. Also, I have enjoyed having lots of extra time to spend with my family and friends. I took a trip to Destin this summer with my family. It is my favorite place to go visit. There are lots of fun things to do, places to go shopping, and good food to eat! I also got to take a long weekend to trip to the big city of Chicago.

I am sure you want to know a little bit about me!  This will be my fifth year teaching first grade at Sandersville. I graduated from the University of Kentucky with my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education in May of 2009, after student teaching at Sandersville with Mrs. Atkins. I have spent so many great years at Sandersville it truly feel like it is my home!  I completed  Masters Degree in Teacher Leadership Specializing in Reading and Writing at Georgetown College in spring of 2013. I will take one more class this fall to be certified as a reading specialist.  When I have free time I love to spend time with friends, go to the movies, do a little shopping, and go out to eat. I also love to make crafts and try to keep up with my scrap book. I love to read, especially by the pool!

I am looking forward to a great new school year with a great new bunch of kids! I look forward to meeting each of you on orientation night and the first day of school. We have so much to learn during first grade and it will a great ride! By the end of the year we will all be great little readers and mathematicians. I can't wait to get started! See you soon!
