Degrees and Certifications:
Mrs. Michelle Caples
Welcome to my website! I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and graduated with a bachelor's degree in social work with a specialization in child welfare and a master's degree in social work with a specialization in school social work from U.N.O. I worked as a social worker for seven years before realizing that I really wanted to be a teacher. I received my teaching certificate from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. I have been teaching in Ralston since 1999. I have taught 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. I have been teaching 1st grade since 2008. I am married and have two daughters. I have two dogs and I love animals! I love to spend time with my girls, read, listen to music, and watch movies.
I can't wait to be your child's teacher!
