Meet Mrs. Reintsma
The 2025-2026 school year is my 4th year as part of Pickford's fantastic elementary team.
I was born in the UP, but moved often as a child, living in Germany, the Lower Peninsula, Alaska, and then spent 30 years in Colorado, before coming full circle back to the wonderful UP!
In 1996, I received my Bachelors of Science in Biological Sciences and Neurology from Colorado State University. Then in 2020, I completed my Masters in Early Childhood Education, also from CSU.
I have experience teaching kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grades, as well as support staff in K-8 general education classrooms, resource and Special Education classrooms.
I am passionate about building relationships with students so they feel comfortable taking the risks necessary to grow and flourish on their educational and social emotional journey.
