My name is Tanya Kolb and I have been teaching at Ellis school for 19 years. My first two years at Ellis were spent teaching Title 1 reading and I have been teaching first grade for 17 years. 

I am a lifelong Round Lake resident. I attended  the Round Lake schools and graduated from Round Lake High School. My husband and I live in the Round Lake area and enjoy our community. My daughter recently graduated from Lake Forest College and will begin student teacher in August at the high school level.

I enjoy spending time with my family as well as watch movies, go for walks, and listen to music. I am a huge Wonder Woman fan--come check out my workspace:)

I went to college at Barat College in Lake Forest where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education & Psychology. I then went on to recieve my Master's Degree in Teaching & Leadership from Saint Xavier College. 

I am excited to work with the students here at Ellis school! My students always hold a special place in my heart and I always refer to them as "my kids". My door is always open!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
