Bio

Mrs. Tinker

This is my eighth year in the DeSoto County School System, and my sixth year at Overpark Elementary. However, this is my twenty-sixth year of teaching. I have taught First Grade through Eighth Grade. I taught first grade for thirteen years before moving to DeSoto County. In DeSoto County I taught second grade before moving to third grade for two years. This is my third year back in second grade. Consequently, I have a better understanding of what I need to do to have my students ready for third grade.

I have a Masters in Elementary Education from the University of West Alabama, and I received my B.S. from the University of Alabama. Four years ago I earned recognition as a National Board Certified teacher.

My wonderful family includes my husband, six daughters, three son-in-laws, and six fantastic grandchildren! I love football and coming from Alabama, I have to say Roll Tide!!
