Hello My Name Is...

Mrs. Re

Or as my students used to call me, Ms. Z. My name is Ellie Re, formerly Ms. Zimmerman. I got married over the summer to the love of my life and have taken his last name. I am so excited to be continuing this year as an Exceptional Student Services Teacher. After teaching 3rd grade for my first four years here, I moved into an Exceptional Student Services Teacher position last year. This will be my sixth year at Aurora Academy Charter School and will be my 10th year teaching. 

I earned my Bachelors of Science in Marketing from Metro State in 2003, although I soon realized that Sales was not a good fit for me. I went back to school to earn my teaching license from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2010 in EC-4th grade. I moved back to Denver in 2013 and in May 2020, I graduated with my Master of Arts from the University of Colorado at Denver with an emphasis in Special Education. I am licensed in Early Child Education, K-6th and Special Education in the State of Colorado.

I grew up in Gunnison, a small mountain town, but my mom ended up moving us to Dallas when I was around the age of 12. So, I have spent about half my life in Texas and the other half in Colorado. All my family lives down south in Texas and Florida, but Colorado will always be my home. I originally moved to Denver January 1, 2000. I live with my husband and have three fur babies, and have two stepsons. 

My teaching philosophy is that I believe you have to nurture and develop the whole child, from their skills in academics, to their social and emotional needs, to their character values, and to support their individual learning needs. I place an extremely high value on diversity and the inclusion of all students. I also strive to build deep relationships with parents and families to work together as a team to support their student in every way possible. I look forward to getting to know all the students and families that are a part of the Aurora Academy community. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns!!
