My name is Kayla Brooke Cook and I am a 1st grade teacher at Griggs Road!  I am so blessed to be able to work with your child and your family over the next year!  I grew up in York, South Carolina and graduated from York Comprehensive High School.  I started my education path at the University of South Carolina where I graduated with a degree in early childhood education.  I then went on to Columbia College where I received my Masters degree in Divergent Learning.  I started my teaching career in the York School District where I taught kindergarten for several years.  I then came to the Clover School District where I taught first grade for two years and Pre-K for three years!  This will be my second year at Griggs Road in kindergarten! 

            I live in Clover with my husband and our daughter, Tinley, and our son, Price. My husband teaches and coaches football at Clover High School.  Here are some of my favorites!

            Please feel free to contact me whenever you have questions or concerns.  I believe that parent communication is one of the most important tools to your child’s success.  My email is kayla.cook@clover.k12.sc.us.  This year is going to be the best one yet!
