ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - 2ND GRADE

Meet the Teacher! 

Hello! My name is Mary Beth Dickson. I am so happy to be your teacher this year!  I know we will have the best year in second grade together. I want you to always know that I believe in you, I will never give up on you, and I know that you can do great things! 

This is my fourth year to teach second grade. I received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education K-6 from Williams Baptist University in 2020. While there I was awarded the Elementary Education award. I absolutely love teaching! When I am not teaching, you can find me spending time with my family.

This year is going to be full of fun, learning, and growing. You’ll meet new friends, learn lots of new skills, and make wonderful new memories. I can’t wait!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. When and how can I reach my child's teacher?
