Welcome students and families to the 2022-2023 school year!

I’m very excited to welcome you to Singing Hills and Running Creek!  I am excited for my new position this school year as Dean of Students and I can't wait to make connections with all of the elementary students this year. I’m sure we’ll get to know each other over the course of the school year, but I want to tell you a little more about myself.  This is my ninth year in the Elizabeth School District. For the past eight years I've been a teacher at Singing Hills, teaching both 4th and 5th grade. Before coming to SHE, I worked as an educational assistant at Cherokee Trail Elementary in Parker for two years, working with students on reading and math.  While working at Cherokee Trail, I completed my master’s degree in Elementary Education through the University of Northern Colorado Denver campus, and student taught in 4^th grade at Cherokee Trail.  Through the master’s program I have also worked with 4^th grade students at both William Roberts School in Denver and Highline Elementary School in Aurora.

I had previously earned a bachelor’s degree in Interior Design, with a minor in History, from Colorado State University and I am currently working on my second master's degree in Leadership in Educational Organizations from UC Denver. I have lived in Parker most of my life, so I know the area very well.  I got married this past summer, so my last name has changed (from Spence to Kaiser). I have two sisters, one of which is my twin (although we don’t look alike).  Two of my favorite things to do during my free time include going to the movies and hanging out with my twelve year old niece, Alyse, and my seven and 1 year old nephews, Carter and Graham.

I am so happy to be a part of the Elizabeth School District community and look forward to a great year!  The best mode of contact for me throughout the year will be through email at pkaiser@esdk12.org or phone at 303-646-6744.

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Kaiser
