All About Me

Welcome!   My name is Christy Halley.  This is my sixth year working as a 3rd Grade teacher at Parkside.  I previously worked as a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade teacher, and I most recently worked at Bethalto East as the P.A.C.T Coordinator for our Preschool Program.  I graduated from Civic Memorial High School and SIU-E.  I received my Master's degree from Rockford University in 2017.  I have 3 wonderful children-ages 16, 13, and 11, that keep me very busy.  We have two adorable dogs, Sugar and Jackson.  I'm looking forward to a fabulous year with my wonderful 3rd graders!
