Staff Introductions

Michelle HigginsYuba Feather Elementary is "Where Children Are First".  We strive to do the following:
 
Promote the positive programs and activities that occur at Yuba Feather Elementary School.
Participate in activities that promotes respect for self, others, the environment, and the world.
Develop improvements in materials and instruction that will result in increased student achievement in reading and math.
Increase student achievement on CAASPP Test where every student leaves Yuba Feather Elementary at or above grade level standard.
 
Yuba Feather School has a variety of STEM offerings and is continually looking for ways to expand opportunities for our students within the STEM field. Complimenting our science curriculum is our school garden and orchard project that can be found at the interior of the school site.
 
Technology used as a tool for learning and creativity is an integral part of each student's learning experience. Students in grades K-6 are provided access to a Chromebook device in all core subjects. The use of these devices is embedded in teacher lessons, and a variety of online learning tools are provided to students. In many classrooms, teachers have begun to introduce students to programming through sites such as code.org. In recent years, we have begun to offer STEM enrichment opportunities that engage students in design-and-build processes. Robotics, coding and natural science themes have been a component of these experiences. 
 
Thank you for visiting our website. Please contact us regarding any questions that you may have. 
 
Sincerely,
Principal
Yuba Feather Elementary School

Hello! My name is Billie Bean, and I am excited to be your child’s kindergarten teacher!
I have been with the Marysville Joint Unified  School District over thirty years have enjoyed teaching kindergarten for the past seven years. I love watching children grow in confidence, discover new things, and develop a love of learning. My goal is to create a caring classroom where every child feels welcome, supported, and excited to learn.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and working on projects around my home. I look forward to partnering with you to make this a wonderful year of learning, growing, and happy memories for your child!

Hello! My name is Monica Quilty and I am thrilled to be your child's second-grade teacher this year.
With 15 years of teaching experience—including seven wonderful years in kindergarten—I am deeply passionate about helping young learners grow.

     Hi, my name is Carlene McCarty and I am the third grade teacher (also known as the field trip queen) here at Yuba Feather! This is my 21st year of teaching; all of them here at Yuba Feather. I've taught 3rd-8th grade in the classroom and 2nd-12th grades in the Independent Study program. I was also involved with our Site Council and PTSA for many years.
     I believe that establishing relationships with students and their families is key to a successful school year. Along with our big 4, critical thinking and problem solving are also extremely important to the current and future success of our Yuba Feather Wildcats. I’ve worked hard to create a classroom that fosters a love of learning by encouraging a bit of fun while learning.
     The beach and Disneyland are some of my favorite places to visit with my family during school breaks. I also love reading, crafting, and home improvement projects.
