Principal Email Phone: 715.424.6779 ext. 2401 Hello! My name is Teri Thomas and I love being part of the Wisconsin Rapids community. Although I did not grow up in Wisconsin Rapids, I have lived here long enough to call this community my home. Hired in the year 2000, I have taught first and second grade, math intervention, and virtual lessons. I also work in the schools alongside teachers as an instructional coach.One of my greatest achievements as an educator is receiving my National Board Certification in 2017. It was a lot of hard work, time, and reflection; however, it was worth it to be recognized at a national level as an accomplished teacher. I love working with my students, sharing my enthusiasm, and seeing the sparkles in students' eyes when they understand an otherwise difficult concept. I am proud to be part of this school district!

Vesper Community Academy is a great place for children to learn and grow together. I am so proud to be a part of this amazing school. I appreciate working with parents and community members to reach our students in many ways.
When you enter my classroom, you will hear the students using kind words and practicing breathing exercises. The students also work to show cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control. We work to be better people academically and socially. We have great kids!
Here are some things that you can do at home to support your child's learning:
- Read each night for at least 15 minutes
- Practice writing (grocery lists, stories, letters to friends/family, etc.)
- Encourage neat handwriting
- Do simple math problems (basic addition and subtraction facts)
- Use sidewalk chalk to write basic sight words outside or simple math problems
- Help your child tie shoes
- Find websites or apps that are specific for first grade learning targets
Together we will have a marvelous year!
