I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to Notre Dame Academy for the 2022-2023 school year. My name is Kaitlyn Koepplinger but you may call me Miss. Katie. I have been working in preschools and daycares for 10 years. Last Spring I received my Master of Arts in Teaching Early Childhood Eduation from Montclair State University. This is my fifth year teaching at Notre Dame Academy and I am very excited!! I hope you have had an enjoyable and relaxing summer. The year ahead will be filled with many exciting challenges - for you as parents, for us as teachers, and for the children. I understand that this is a difficult time for the children. I will make sure to form a relationship with each of my students. I want them to be comfortable with myself and my teaching methods. I will be sure to help your child academically, socially, and emotionally. I am going to do the best of my ability to make these transitions both fun and educational for the children and their families. Looking forward to a new school year! Please contact me with any questions or concerns!
