Ramsey Elementary School

School Calendar Reminder: School is closed today in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. No Summer Food Service and no Summer School.

Second graders were special guests at the school board meeting on Monday evening. They were proud to represent Ramsey by sharing the process of publishing their own writing and illustrations in their class book entitled “Wild Wonders”. It was a great opportunity for Mrs. Blom’s students to demonstrate their knowledge and excitement, face-to-face with the school board and administration. It was wonderful to hear the pride they take in the steps that it took to become publishers.

🌟Staff Spotlight!🌟 Meet Kailee Carlson, Speech-Language Pathologist at Montevideo Elementary Schools. Hello! My name is Kailee Carlson. I am a Speech-Language Pathologist at Ramsey and Sanford Elementary Schools, and this is my 7th year in the Montevideo School District. I additionally work PRN as a Speech-Language Pathologist at the CCM clinic in Montevideo. I obtained my bachelor's degree at Minnesota State University Moorhead in 2015 and my master's degree at the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2017. I have loved working in the Montevideo School District and getting to be a part of another community! I am very passionate about what I do and love to see the growth in my students' communication and watching them become more confident with themselves and in the classroom. Having great co-workers to collaborate with is an added bonus! I grew up and currently live in Clara City with my husband, Trent, our 2.5 year old son, Maddox, and our golden doodle, Ollie. We are expecting another son in July! Outside of school, I enjoy thrifting, traveling, camping, and photography. You can also catch me following my husband as he coaches football and basketball at MACCRAY. We are so proud to have Kailee on our team! #HawkPride #StaffSpotlight
