Mrs. Atkins, Nancy
I have had the pleasure of being a reading partner as a Reading Support teacher to many of Shields' students for 22 years. I am also a Certified Academic Language Therapist, CALT. I teach students with dyslexia using the Take Flight program.
I have been married for 27 years and have two amazing daughters that attended Shields Elementary and graduated from ROHS. We share our home with a sweet little Shih Tzu, a funny Great Pyrenees and a calico cat.
Every day I look forward to seeing my students grow and gain confidence in their educational journey.
