Welcome to Greenwood Elementary! I'm Kate Skappel, and I am excited to join the Greenwood Elementary community this year as principal. My hopes for the students, staff and families of Greenwood is that everyone feels like they belong at Greenwood as soon as they walk in the door and that all students reach their maximum potential. Prior to my time at Greenwood I taught preschool, first grade and third grade in South Washington County School in Minnesota. I spent the last 10 years working in various schools in the West St. Paul School District as a technology integrationist and curriculum coordinator as well as serving in a principal capacity on numerous occasions including summer school programming.
I grew up in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where I played softball, volleyball, and dance team in high school. I graduated from Winona State University with a Bachelor's degree in elementary education (PreK-Grade 6) and later earned my Master's degree in Teaching and Learning from Saint Mary's University of MN. I also attended Saint Mary's University to complete my K-12 Administration (Principal) Certification.
