Hello Families,

My name is Shelley Crossen, and I will say it right up front. I am a WSU Cougar.  If it helps, my husband and son are both avid Husky fans! 

I have been teaching for 30 years.  Most of my career has been spent teaching 4th and 5th grade...my favorites!  I taught in Federal Way for most of my career at both elementary and middle school.  So I have seen what 4th and 5th graders need to be prepared for, and I am focused on helping students and families feel ready for the transition.  Prior to moving to Saltar's Point Elementary I spent five years teaching in a 3rd-5th grade class on Anderson Island.  It was a wonderful introduction to Steilacoom.  

When I am not teaching I am spending time with my husband, my son, and my extended family in eastern Wa.  I also enjoy traveling anywhere sunny and HOT,  reading, working in my yard, and watching my son play tennis.

I look forward to getting to know you and your children this year.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns.  The best way to do so is through ParentSquare.
