Hello,

My name is Kyle McKinney, and I'm delighted to be entering my fifth year at Woodlawn, where I teach first grade. Previously, I taught in Springfield, Missouri, for nine years. My educational journey began in Holton, Kansas, and I proudly pursued my studies at Missouri State University, thanks to their academic Presidential Scholarship.

Lawrence has been an exciting change for me! I'm already enjoying exploring the local trails and being closer to my family, including my two nephews and niece, brings me immense joy.

My passion for teaching remains as strong as ever, and I'm thrilled to welcome your young learners into my classroom. My foremost commitment is to create a safe and positive learning environment for each student every single day.

Should you ever need to reach out to me, please don't hesitate to send an email to kyle.mckinney@usd497.org. I'll make it a priority to respond as promptly as possible!
