Welcome to NA Cyber Academy Kindergarten!!!  My name is Kristen Burcham and I am so excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher.  This will be a new adventure for all of us this year! Before I moved over to NA Cyber Academy, you could find me teaching at Hosack Elementary School.  Prior to teaching at Hosack, I was the Autistic Support teacher at Marshall Elementary School for 7 years.  I have my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and my master's degree in Special Education.  I have had many wonderful experiences during my career at North Allegheny, which I believe have helped me get to this point.  I truly have a passion for working with young learners and helping them discover their potential! 

When I am not teaching you can find me in Zelienople with my family.  I have sent 3, very different children off to kindergarten over the past few years.  I understand all the feelings that come with sending your babies off to school.  I want you to feel like you can come to me with any question or concern, as I truly feel that this is a team approach.  It takes a village to raise a child, and I am lucky enough to be in your child's village.  I want what is best for your child and will work very hard to inspire a deep love of learning from the start!  

I will be contacting you Friday 9/4/2020 with more information to follow for next week!  Rest assured, we are planning a great experience for your cyber academy Kindergartener!
