Welcome back! It is a pleasure to work with you and your child again this year!

I'd like to begin by sharing a little about myself. My name is Carissa Berns. I currently live in Gilman. This is my 17th year of teaching, 16th year in the Central School District, and 4th year here at Nash teaching functional/life skills program

I grew up in the small town of Tremont. After high school, I went on to play basketball at Monmouth College. I graduated from Monmouth College in 1998 with my Elementary and Special Education teaching degrees.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. You may send a note with your child, e-mail me at cberns@cusd4.org, or call the school 694-2323

I am excited to see where our journey takes us this year!

Mrs. Berns
