Mrs. Settles

    Kindergarten Teacher  

About Me: 

 My name is Melissa Settles and I have been teaching at WRES for six years. I spent my first four years as a lead Pre-K teacher. This 2024-2025 school year will be another wonderful adventure for me. It will be my second year as a Kindergarten teacher.

I am super excited about meeting my new students and their families. I look 

forward to seeing what the new school year will bring. I grew up in

Appling, Georgia. I attended grade school in Columbia

County. Then I graduated from Georgia Southern University

in 2015. After I received my bachelors degree from GSU I moved on to receive my Masters degree from Thomas University in 2021.

I just got married last year in November.

I do not have any children, but I am a fur mama of one; my dog's name is Jax. I am very family oriented. My own parents volunteer at  WRES often.

Working with children brings so much joy to my life. It is my firm

belief that every child deserves a quality education.

I feel that it is my job as a teacher to insure each child that enters

    my classroom:

         1. Feels safe, and loved 

         2. Leaves with more knowledge than when

             they came

         3. Has respect for themselves and their peers
