• A Little Bit about Mrs. O'Neill

     

    🌸I am very excited to be starting my fourth year in the Scarsdale School District as a First Grade Special Education Teacher with Mrs. Conklin this year at Heathcote.

    🌸My previous teaching experience at Heathcote was teaching second grade with Mrs. Luciano, third grade with Mrs. DeGrazia and fourth grade with Mrs. Rago.

    🌸Before joining the Scarsdale School District, I was a New York City Department of Education Special Education Teacher. I started my career as a First Grade Special Education Teacher and then transitioned to being a Fourth Grade Special Education Teacher. This will be my tenth year of teaching in an Integrated Co-Teaching classroom.

    🌸 I graduated from Manhattan College in Riverdale, New York. I have a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and two masters' degrees in Special Education and Reading.

    🌸 I have a son named Liam who was born last November when I was teaching fourth grade. We had a wonderful summer at the pool and taking day trips. I look forward to having Liam come in to visit class 1- CO!

    🌸It has always been my dream to become a teacher! I believe the most important attribute to have is to be equitable. Providing students fair and equal opportunities to shine throughout their educational journey is what I, as an educator, want to provide for my students. Instilling in students the importance of advocating, being open to receiving guidance and to not be afraid to try and take risks. I, as a teacher, follow this mindset and I will be your child’s biggest supporter this year as we embark on the year ahead together!
