Welcome to Kindergarten!  My name is Michele Ortlip and I will be your child’s teacher for the coming school year.  You should know that I usually ask the kids to call me Mrs. O. – Ortlip is a mouthful, even for grown-ups!  I have been teaching Kindergarten here in Freeport for twelve years.  

My goal is to make my classroom an inviting place where the students can feel comfortable to explore and ask questions. We will sing songs, create art projects, play learning games, explore new math concepts, and do A LOT of reading and writing!               

Again, I welcome you and your child to Kindergarten!  If you have any questions or concerns at any time throughout the year please feel free to contact me.

Here’s to a great year!

Mrs. O
