Welcome to second grade at Garrett Elementary School! My name is Laura Nye, and I’m thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year.

I bring with me a wide range of experience, having taught middle school pre-engineering (grades 6–8), first grade, and having served as a paraprofessional in kindergarten through second grade. This will be my seventeenth year in education, and each year continues to inspire and teach me just as much as I aim to teach my students. I truly believe every child has something unique and special to offer, and my goal is to nurture that spark and help it grow.

Second grade is a remarkable time in your child’s learning journey. Many of the foundational skills in reading and writing have already been planted, and this is the year they really begin to blossom. You’ll be amazed at the growth you’ll see—in academics, confidence, and independent thinking. Students begin to grasp more abstract concepts and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

With your support and involvement, I’m confident we’ll have an exciting, meaningful, and transformative year. I look forward to partnering with you to make this a successful experience for your child.
