Kayla T. Woods

Kindergarten and First Grade Inclusion

Hello! My name is Kayla Woods and I am so excited to be your child's Special Education Teacher. I grew up in Montgomery, AL. I made my way to Mississippi by way of a basketball scholarship to The University of Mississippi where I played four years and received a Bachelor's of Science in Exercise Science. Years later, I went back to Ole Miss where I got my teaching certification from the Teach Mississippi Institute. It is my passion and purpose to work with kids and constantly yearn to see them grow academically and developmentally. I look forward to working with you and your child this year!!! GO QUISTORS!!!
