Special Education

Chesney Galindo | SPED Mild Mod
My Email: Chesney.Galindo@washk12.orgI graduated from Southern Utah University in 2002 with a BA in Communication/Public Relations and a minor in English Literature. I went back to school in 2021 to become a special education teacher and started my first year teaching here at LaVerkin Elementary at the same time. Before that, I worked at the LaVerkin Elementary Preschool, Hurricane High School as a mentor, as a reading paraprofessional at LaVerkin Elementary, and as a special education paraprofessional at LaVerkin Elementary.
My childhood was spent in Emery, Utah. At an early age, I developed a love for learning new things and reading. I had the privilege of being taught by teachers who have inspired me to take this path to teaching.
When I am not at school, I love being at home, giving my husband new projects to build from my Pinterest boards, and reading. I adore my family, and doing anything with them is where you will find me.
I am lucky to work at Laverkin Elementary, where leaders are taught to live, love, learn, and leave a legacy.
