About meHi! My name is Amanda Perry-Dollar. I teach 4-Year-Old Kindergarten at Niagara Public Schools. This is my sixth year with the district. I have been teaching 4K for the past 4 years, but I taught Kindergarten my first year in the district. I graduated from Kingsford High School, then went on to St. Norbert College to pursue my education degree. Upon graduating I worked for AmeriCorps in Iron Mountain where I tutored students and organized community projects. Then I taught preschool in Forest Park for two years before finding my way to Niagara. I love teaching and it is my passion! In my spare time I love to: scrapbook, take pictures, cheer on the Detroit Red Wings, and spend time with my family.

what is 4k? |
4K is in its fifth year already! This is a superb program to get your 4-and 5-year-olds ready to enter Kindergarten. Our students attend school for two full days a week. During this time we focus on academic skills such as: letter recognition; producing letter sounds; writing; number recognition; counting; etc. The 4K curriculum lays the groundwork necessary to be successful in Kindergarten. We utilize play to teach social skills, problem solving, and critical thinking.
