Hello, my name is Alyssa Puetz, and I am extremely excited to be teaching at Cardinal Ridge Elementary! I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in History at Western Washington University, and I earned an Elementary Education Licensure at Fayetteville State University. Prior to pursuing a career in teaching, I was in the U.S. Army for four years. 

I adore working with children, and I understand the importance of providing them with a welcoming environment. I believe in making meaningful connections with my students and their families.  Moreover, I am a proponent of communicating openly, building character, and being adaptable.

During my spare time, I love spending time with my husband and our daughter. I also enjoy reading and drawing. 

I look forward to having a wonderful school year! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me!
