HI! My name is Austin Wetrich and I will be one of the 3rd grade math teachers this year! This is my 6th year in education, most of which have been spent teaching 3rd grade. I graduated from UMKC in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and immediately began my career working at KCIA. After my first year teaching, I began my Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at Missouri Western State University. I completed this degree in 2022. After completing my Master’s degree, I spent a couple years working as the Newcomer Specialist for our school, which I absolutely loved. I am beyond excited to move into this new role as a 3rd grade math teacher, and I look forward to merging my passion for language with my passion for mathematics. It is going to be a great year in 3rd grade!
