My name is Melody Haines and I am the Academic Support Teacher. I provide reading support to students in grades third through fifth utilizing the Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) Program. 

I have been teaching in the St. Paul Public School District since 2000 after receiving my master's degree in Elementary Education from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Over the years, I taught grades first through fourth and was also an Academic Support teacher. Aside from my current teaching role, I am a Parent Teacher Home Visit Program facilitator. This wonderful program has given many teachers the opportunity to build postive relationships with students, families, and schools through their home visits.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy scrapbooking, baking, and traveling. I also enjoy spending time with my husband, Jeff, and daughers, Quinn and Maggie.
