• Hello! 

    My name is Mrs. VanSchaik, formerly Ms. Erickson, and I am super excited to be your child's teacher this school year! I graduated from National Louis University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. This will be my fourth year teaching in District 144 and at Nob Hill School. I have taught 5th and 3rd grade. In my free time, I enjoy watching documentaries, traveling, reading, and spending time with my family. I look forward to providing your child with a fun, engaging, and inclusive classroom environment where they can grow and succeed. 

    Family involvement is essential to student success. Please check your child's Home Folder daily for important notes, forms, and daily homework. I welcome you to reach out with any questions by phone, email, or the Class Dojo App.

    Together, we will make this school year the best year yet! 

    Sincerely,

    Mrs. VanSchaik
