My name is Judy Kniptash. I am very excited to be starting my twenty second year in education. I have taught in first grade for twenty of those twenty two years. The other two years were spent teaching third grade and Reading Intervention. As you can see, I have a passion for teaching first graders! 

I currently live in Carmel with my husband. I have three grown children, two wonderful daughters-in-law and one wonderful son-in-law. My grandson’s are precious and can hardly wait to meet my third grandson in January. 

I love teaching at OP! The staff, parents, and students are such a loving group of people. I wouldn’t want to be at any other place.
