Meet Ms. Connauton

Hello! My name is Shannon Connauton. I’m originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and made the move to the United States in 1987. I proudly became a U.S. citizen in 1995.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Denver and completed my Teacher Certification shortly after. I’ve been teaching for 12 wonderful years, and over that time I’ve had the joy of working with students from kindergarten through 4th grade. Every year brings new adventures, growth, and joy in the classroom.

Outside of school, I stay busy with my amazing family—my husband Frank and our six kids: Dillen, Fiona, Bode, Kale, Kai, and Hawken. Life is always full with our crew! We live on a farm and enjoy the simple pleasures of country life, especially gardening, camping, hiking, and skiing. We're also a big sports family and spend a lot of time traveling around for hockey and lacrosse games.

Teaching is one of my greatest passions, and I love building a classroom community where students feel valued, challenged, and inspired every day.
