Welcome to Mrs. Goff's website.  I am happy to be in my fifthteenth year of teaching at Wildwood Elementary.  I have BA degrees in Education and Psychology from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL, and my Master's and PhD degrees in Child Development from Iowa State University.  Prior to working at Wildwood, I taught 1st grade at Briargate School in Cary, IL.

I live in Oakdale and have two sons.  I love to travel, ride my bike, and explore the Twin Cities.

I am excited to have a great year in Kindergarten!

Our School
 
At Wildwood Elementary School, we honor the whole child and teach future-ready skills of inspiring curiosity, embracing change, and turning ideas into action. Our talented teachers and staff members work with students in small class sizes and nurture a culture of excellence that has become the expectation and norm. Our students learn social-emotional skills alongside academic core areas in order to gain the foundation for academic success. In addition, they have the opportunity to engage in learning with specialists in gym, art, media, music, and STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) classes. Our elementary school is surrounded by green space and our students enjoy recess at our natural playground and attend classes in our outdoor classroom. We have an engaged and supportive parent community who volunteers and supports the school with academic opportunities and tools. Our District is a leader in engineering and science and we value academic areas that will spark curiosity, fuel creativity, and instill a lifelong passion for innovation in our students.
