Mrs. Marla Guerity
Welcome back for another exciting year of learning at W.M. Irvin Elementary! I am entering my 18th year of teaching, and my 1st year at Irvin as the MTSS Coach. Prior to teaching at Irvin, I taught 2nd grade at Odell Primary for 8 years, I spent 7 years in Kannapolis, and 2 years in Tampa, Florida. I received my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education (preK-6) with a reading endorsement from Youngstown State University. I also have my AIG (Academically and Intellectually Gifted) local endorsement. I am in my second year of graduate school at Queens University of Charlotte, where I am working towards my degree in Educational Leadership.
I believe whole-heartedly that every child deserves a high quality education and I hold high standards for ALL of my students. I focus on social-emotional health, critical thinking skills, and having a growth mindset. I promise that when your child is with me at school, they will be challenged, cared for, and loved!
I currently live in Concord with my husband Mike, and two children, Sophia (12) and Cooper (9). We also have two dogs, Desi and Jett, and 3 lizards!
