Please help us welcome Miss Megan Kruse to the district! We are happy to announce that she is joining us full-time as a math teacher at Kirksville High School.
Megan recently graduated from Truman with her Master of Arts in Education. Her favorite part of teaching is seeing the "lightbulb" go off in her students' heads. That is a pretty good moment, we agree!
Megan is originally from the St. Louis area, where her family still lives. We are happy you are with us in Kirksville, Miss Kruse! #kvproud #welovekirksville #kvtigers

Devan is pictured here with her mom, dad, brother, and grandma. Both of her parents work for the district, her brother recently graduated, and her grandma does testing for our special services department, as needed. We are thinking their blood truly runs orange.

Please help us welcome Ms. Ellie Weltha to the district! We are happy to announce that she is joining us full-time as a first grade teacher at Kirksville Primary School. Ellie recently graduated with her Master of Arts in Education from Truman State. Her favorite parts of teaching are the relationships you build with your students. Many of you have probably heard her name before, because Ellie played basketball and softball at Truman, plus she was a thrower on the track and field team! She will also be assistant coaching volleyball and girls basketball for us. We are happy you are here, Ms. Weltha! #kvproud #welovekirksville #kvtigers

Becky has taught for 23 years--elementary, middle school, and high school. Her favorite thing about teaching is, "Seeing my students make gains in academics and in their confidence."

Becky and Tim are pictured here with their five children, spouses, and their grandchildren. We are happy you are here, Mrs. Ingle! #kvproud #welovekirksville #kvtigers
Our new-to-district teachers are here! Friday the 9th was their first day. We started them off with breakfast from our cafeteria staff, quick welcome remarks from our superintendent, assistant superintendent, curriculum director, and the mayor of the city. Then we loaded them up on a school bus for a field trip and some KVR-3 trivia. They were given a welcome and a quick tour of each building from our principals; and finished their morning with lunch hosted by our school board members.
Community members, get to know our new-to-district teachers in social media posts this week! Let them know we are glad they are here! #kvpride #welovekirksville #kvtigers
