Just 20 minutes of reading per day places your child on a pathway to success. Reading at that daily rate, he or she will read nearly two million words in a school year, significantly boosting his or her vocabulary, knowledge, and confidence!

We are so thrilled to recognize and celebrate Starline’s 2025 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Nutt! Mrs. Nutt is one of our dynamic, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted kindergarten teachers. She is Nationally Board Certified in the area of Early Childhood Education and can be found after hours coaching fellow teacher candidates who are pursuing National Board Certification. Mrs. Nutt is a master at organization of learning activities, and communicating with her families daily. She not only teaches her kindergarteners all day, but she also tutors ELL students, grades 1-6, in our Monday after school program, in addition to tutoring first graders two days per week. She leads K-1 dismissal as she gets her steps in pacing up and down at the pickup line on Starline Drive calling students one by one by the sight of their car rounding the corner. Mrs. Nutt is a teacher leader at Starline who assures that her teammates are supported and encourages team collaboration amongst her peers. Starline is so grateful for our special Starblazer, Mrs. Nutt! 💜🎉🤩

Starline Families,
Please help us CONGRATULATE our creative, passionate, and dedicated kindergarten teacher, Ms. Jaconi!
Ms. Jaconi is Starline’s newest National Board Teacher. We are so proud of her and the difference she makes in the lives of her students each and every day. She is a vital part of our Starline team.
National Board is a very rigorous, voluntary process that teachers may choose to pursue to test their teaching practices at the national level. National Board Certified Teachers are highly effective accomplished teachers who are grounded in the 5 Core Propositions. You are AMAZING, Ms. Jaconi!📣💜🎆🎉 🌟
