About Ms. RuplingerI am very excited to be starting my third year as part of the Spicewood family. This will be my tenth year as a full-time teacher. I attended Northwestern University in Chicago for my bachelor’s degree and Bank Street College of Education in New York City for my master’s degree. I am certified to teach kindergarten through sixth grade, and I have an additional certification in ESL and TAG. I have taught pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in public schools, charter schools, and independent schools. My favorite grade, however, is definitely first!
My family and I moved from the New York City area three years ago. We have a four-year old son and three-year old daughter. In my free time, I enjoy going to the park, swimming, baking, and reading with my children. In addition, I love racing long distances and hiking in Austin’s many parks.
I believe that every child can succeed in, as well as love school. I strive to create an inquiry-based, child-centered program in my classroom. I am looking forward to getting to know your children! It’s going to be a great year! |
