Hello!  My name is Alyssa Flaten, and I have been teaching at Chelsea Heights my entire career of eight years!  My first year at Chelsea Heights I taught Kindergarten, the following two years I taught 4th grade, then 5th grade for four years, and now I am teaching a 4th and 5th grade split classroom for the second time.  Hooray for the adventure of another school year! Before becoming a teacher, I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of St. Thomas where I majored in Science and Mathematics for Elementary Education.  I also have completed my Master's Degree from Concordia University in Educational Technology.

When I am not at Chelsea Heights I enjoy reading, watching the Green Bay Packers play football, and watching Netflix.  I also love to do anything and everything outside, including running! I have run a few half marathons in my time and thoroughly enjoy being one of the last people to finish. 

I currently live in Saint Paul, MN with my family. My one year old son, and three year old twin daughters keep me very busy, but being a parent continues to be the biggest blessing!

Chelsea Heights is a wonderful place to work and a fabulous school.  The staff is supportive and helpful, and our students/families make coming to work FUN each and every day!
