Meet Ms. Hutchins
• I was born and raised in Kansas. Go Jayhawks :)
• This is my 10th year teaching third grade at Crozet. I have been in the
education field for 15 years total! I have taught 4th grade, 3 year old PK,
and high school. Third grade is definitely my favorite age by far!
• My daughter is in fourth grade this year and I continue to learn more

about school from the “other side.” I also enjoy time with my husband
and dogs, Bramble and Athena.
• While this year looks different than previous year, I am still excited and
looking forward to all the fun experiences we will have this year
• I recently received my Culturally Responsive Teaching Certification. One

thing I learned about myself through the process is that I value working
hard and trying your best and being efficient with my time!
Meet Ms. Crist
• I was born and raised in Waynesboro, Virginia. GO HOOS!!!
• I received my bachelors degree in K-5 General Education as well

as K-12 Special Education.
• This is my 6th year teaching third grade at Crozet Elementary

School.
• I enjoy all outdoor activities, spending time with my friends and

family, listening to music, going to concerts, and cheering on my
HOOS!!
• I also recently received my Culturally Responsive Teaching

Certification in 2020 alongside Mrs. Hutchins. I am looking forward
to using what I learned to impact my future students and their
families!
Meet Mr. Stauffer
• I was born and raised in Bradford, PA.
• This is my 17th year teaching. I have taught kindergarten, 4th grade, 5th
grade, middle school math, and now 3rd grade. I am super excited to be
a part of this third grade team.
• I enjoy hanging out with my wife and three children. We are very busy
and love every moment of it. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, weightlifting,
and most outdoor activities.

each Friday via email.

that comes up throughout the day. We find we are
better able to reply to emails after the school day.

only homework this year (until further notice) is
for students to read 20 minutes at home each

for the testing
● Please DO NOT stress over this!
Technology

● Be sure to read the Technology & Digital
Citizenship Field Guide.
● We will be researching using Google Docs and
creating slide shows and other projects
throughout the year.
● We are working on digital citizenship lessons
with our Learning Technology Integrator (LTI),
Brian Squires.
Parent Support Tips
● Set a time for reading each night (using a timer can

help)

newsletter link each Friday

going for your child and what we can do differently
to better meet their learning needs

virtually the week of October 18-22.
● Conferences will be 20 minutes long and students will lead
