About the Teacher

Greetings, MTES families! My name is Theresa McNamara. This is my 21st year teaching, and eighteen of those years have been right here at MTES. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Masters degree in Elementary Education and I taught 4th grade at MTES before moving into the G/T and math position in 2021. I love being able to work with students across many grade levels!

I live in Montville, NJ with my husband, two sons, and an 11 year old rescue dog. My boys are in the 5th and 6th grades this year and they keep us quite busy with their activities.

I am also obsessed with all things Harry Potter and my classroom is designed to reflect this!

I am looking forward to an exciting year filled with amazing experiences and opportunities.
