Grades 7 and 8 - Mr. Krause
Welcome from Mr. Krause
About Me...
I have been a resident of Northeastern Wisconsin the majority of my life. After high school I joined the military for 3 years and lived in many places throughout the United States. After military service I attended the University of Wisconsin -Green Bay and completed my degree in elementary/middle level education with an emphasis in mathematics.
I've taught for 14 years to include placements like: Holy Cross School, SJS, and currently Saint Joseph School Inc.
My son, Ean, is very energetic and loves to redecorate and move things around in my classroom.
My daughter Kalea adores her brother and wants to be by him.
Welcome to another great year at Saint Joseph School. I'm honored to teach each and every one of my students. I hope they are ready to learn a lot and have some fun along the way.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by phone through the office or by e-mail. (Hint: I check my e-mail more often than my phone messages.)
Starting strong,
Mr. Krause
