Welcome to Our Evans Elementary Family! We are thrilled to introduce Kaylie Skinner, who will be joining our Pre-K teaching team at I.C. Evans Elementary for the upcoming school year! Kaylie is already a familiar face at Evans as an instructional paraprofessional, and we're excited to have her take on this new role. Please join us in welcoming her to our teaching staff! University Name: Midwestern State University Major: Applied Arts and Sciences Graduation Date: December 2021 I am currently an instructional paraprofessional at I C Evans Elementary. I work with students in Tier 3, offering specialized, one-on-one or small group instruction to address their specific needs with reading and math. Before this job, I was a substitute for Burkburnett ISD for two years. I enjoy spending time with my family. We like to ride bikes, go on walks to the park, and swim during the summer. I also like to watch my children play sports. I am a loud and proud cheerleader for my kiddos! GO Gremlins and Hooks!! I didn't always know that I wanted to be an educator. It wasn't until I had my oldest son that I realized I had a calling to work with children. I knew that being a teacher was not for the faint of heart, so I decided to work for BISD for a few years to make sure it was really what I wanted to do. I now know for a fact that I have found what I was meant to do. I have loved creating relationships with my students and challenging them to reach their full potential whether it's academically, socially, or emotionally. I'm looking forward to helping my Pre-K students discover their interests and develop their full potential next year! I am a Burkburnett High School graduate and my children are third generation Bulldogs. I am proud to be from Burkburnett and I am grateful for the primary and secondary education I received from this little town. I had more than a handful of wonderful teachers who guided and inspired me to be the person I am today. I look forward to teaching for BISD with ambitions of passing that same positivity, love, and desire to learn to my future students. Welcome Kaylie!!! #BISDProud #WelcomeToTheTeam
