Welcome to Mrs. Chevalier's 1st Grade classroom!

I am thrilled to start this school year.  This is my fourth year with Sienna Crossing Elementary, and I love it!  I spent my first 13 years of teaching at our sister school, Scanlan Oaks Elementary.  I have lived in Sienna for 23 years, so it is all community to me. 

As for my personal family, my husband and I just celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary.  We have two amazing young men, 25 and 23 years of age. They both attended Sienna schools, played sports in middle and high school and in the community.  I loved being their team mom, carpool queen, chaperone and cheerleader for many years.  They are my heart and soul.

As a teacher, I strive to meet the needs of each of my students.  I feel that it is a tremendous responsibility to introduce these young people to the rigors of the early years of public school and to help foster a love for learning.  My goal is to make each and every child feel welcome and accepted, safe and secure and successful.

For me to be successful with my goals, it takes a solid partnership with the families of each child.  Establishing a working relationship with parents/caregivers is a priority for me.  I want parents to feel that their child is spending their school days with someone that genuinely cares about them and their success.
