Meet Mrs. Coffey


Hi! My name is Mrs. Coffey and I am so excited to be your child's teacher and look forward to getting to know you and your family!  A little about me:





I was born in Dallas, Texas (where I attended Kindergarten!) and moved to Greenville, South Carolina when I was in second grade.  We made our final move to Overland Park when I was in sixth grade where I began as a student in the Blue Valley school district.  I graduated from Blue Valley Northwest and went on to Kansas State University to pursue my degree in Elementary Education. 
I met my husband, Chris, right before we both started at K-State in the summer of 2005.  I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in December 2008 and began my first job as a long-term substitute in a third grade classroom in Blue Valley. 
Chris and I were married in June of 2009 and we promptly adopted our pound puppy, Scout.  He is our "baby" and turned four in June.  He has quite the personality and keeps us busy! The kids hear lots of "Scout stories" throughout the year. :)
My first full year in Kindergarten was at Corinth Elementary in Shawnee Mission.  I taught half-day for the 09-10 school year and moved to full-day at Indian Valley for the 10-11 school year, earning my Masters from Baker University during this time. 

 I have been here at IVE ever since!  This will be my fifth full year teaching Kindergarten. What a wonderful place to teach and for kids to learn.  Indian Valley is truly home for me and I hope you will soon feel the same.
