Meet Ms. Weipert

I am very excited to be beginning my third year as a South Holt Knight! I grew up on a farm east of St. Joseph and plan on moving back to the farm by late spring. I look forward to hearing the sounds of cows, horses, birds, and even coyotes! I retired after a total of 29 years in education, 18 of those as a School Counselor. I continue to learn by attending a variety of professional development opportunities to stay current with research and evidence based practices that benefit students, teachers, and families!

About Me:

As a teacher, I taught 4th, 7th and 8th grade students.
I love working alongside teachers and parents to help students!
Something I'm excited to share with students this year is the Career Trek Program!

Safety Procedures

Students will learn how to handle a lockdown and evacuation situation. I will use the book I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared! by Julia Cook. In this book, the teacher at Ant Hill School uses the words Shepherd (Teacher/Staff Member), Sheep (Student), and Wolf (Dangerous Person) to help students know what to do in that type of situation.

Character Education

Each Month we will focus on a specific character trait! In September, we will talk about what respect looks/sounds/feels like (emotion). A student from each classroom will be recognized for displaying the trait.

Second Step Lessons

Be on the lookout for Second Step Home Link Activity pages! Each page has a reinforcement activity you can do with your child. Sign it and have your child return it to school. Your child will select a prize from my treasure chest!
