WELCOME TO FOURTH GRADE

I am so excited that you are here.  My name is Kylie Collins and I'll be your child's fourth grade teacher this year. I am originally from Connecticut, but I moved to Colorado in 2010.  I studied Environmental Science and Music at Bard College and then received my Masters in Education from Western.  I taught first grade in Aspen for four years before moving to Crested Butte in 2016. I worked with the reading intervention and special education teams for two years here and now I am thrilled to be embarking on my third year in fourth grade.  I live with my husband Matt and two dogs. In my free time I enjoy trail running, skiing, and everything outside. ​

My name is Katie Jo Tilton and I will be student teaching with Ms. Kylie this year while attending Western Colorado University’s Elementary Education Teacher Residency Program. I discovered my passion for education while working at CBCS as a Special Education Assistant and am excited to be back to school in my new role as a student teacher. I have lived in the Gunnison Valley for the past 4 years, and in my free time I love to bike, ski, hike, and get outside to enjoy the beautiful place we call home.

Take a look at our classroom website.  You'll notice pictures from first grade and fourth grade years past, but this will give you an idea of how I like to keep families up to date on our classroom happenings throughout the school year. 

Please don't ever hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions or concerns.
