Mrs. Michelle Drangeid is excited to be working with your child at Alpine Elementary World School. Mrs. Drangeid began teaching in 1997 and has taught everything from Literacy Intervention to 5th grade, but 3rd grade is her sweet spot. Michelle has a strong background in teaching foundational literacy skills and using researched based teaching strategies to support reading and writing development. She prides herself on using data to inform instruction, and works with students to set goals for themselves. Parents are an integral part of this process and she looks forward to collaborating with you to meet your child where they are and help them grow.

Michelle moved to Colorado from Minnesota in 2005, and lives in Longmont with her husband, David. They have two children, Davin (10th grade at Skyline) and Stefen (8th grade at Trail Ridge). The Drangeid family have a cat and a dog, Twinkie and Pedro. In her spare time Michelle enjoys reading, crocheting, hiking, gardening, camping, or just running around with the kids. Mrs. Drangeid looks forward to getting to know your family better this fall.
