Ms. Kristy Grimes
Hello Eastridge Elementary Community,
I will be your child's 3rd grade Reading, Language Arts, & Social Studies teacher. I was raised in a small town in Ellis County, Ennis, Texas. I currently live in DeSoto, Texas with my two kids, Landon and Kenya. I graduated from Texas A&M University-Commerce with my Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies and earned my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Triple Literacy.
This will be my 16th year in education. I have spent 15 years teaching in DeSoto ISD. I previously taught 4th grade for twelve years and I’ve taught three years in 3rd grade in the past. This will be my first year at Red Oak ISD.
In my spare time, I love to travel and be with my family. I'm excited about learning and growing with you all as we embark on this upcoming school year.
