Thanks for stopping by our website! My name is Kurt Austin and this will be
my 20th year working for the Elk Grove Unified School District. I grew up in
the Bay Area in a town called Belmont and graduated from UC Davis with a
degree in Rhetoric & Communication. I earned my multiple subjects teaching
credential and my single subject math credential at Sacramento State
University. I have taught every grade level except kindergarten and first
over the years, but 5th grade is my favorite! This will be my 8th year at
Elliott Ranch. My interests include playing softball, coaching soccer,
keeping statistics for my son's basketball team, playing board and card
games, reading both fiction and non-fiction, collecting music from the 80s,
listening to iTunes, playing with my dog, Boo (a Yorkie), going to musicals,
and spending time with my wife and three sons. I love college basketball and
the NBA, espcially the Kings. I consider it a privilege to teach. I can't
wait to meet you. This is going to be an awesome year!
To instill the love of learning in students in a non-threatening,
encouraging, and fun way!
