🔦 Staff Spotlight: Meet our Academic Interventionist 🔦...
🦦 Kristi McQuillan: This is my second year at View Ridge, and I love being an Otter. I’m an Academic Interventionist working with small groups of Kindergarten, 3rd-grade, and 4th-grade students in math and literacy. My job is to meet kids at all points along their learning journeys—those who need extra processing time, repetition, and practice, as well as those ready for more challenge and rigor. The small-group setting lets me really understand each child’s strengths and sticking points, and that deep connection is what fuels me. Nothing compares to the moment a tough concept finally clicks and a student lights up with pride and new confidence as a growing mathematician or “literary agent.”
📖 Favorite children’s book: I was a mystery kid. Nancy Drew led me to Agatha Christie and then Sherlock Holmes. I even roped my family into endless rounds of the board game 221B Baker Street so I could play detective.
🖊️ I loathe pencils. I do everything in pen—even crosswords and math puzzles. Pen is bold and confident, just like my approach to life.
