Hello! My name is Julie Shook and I am thrilled to be entering my 19th year of teaching.  I have taught grades 2, 3 and 4 and worked at two other Arlington schools.  The bulk of my teaching career has been in 2nd grade and I am so excited to be returning to the Arthur S. May community as a 2nd grade teacher.  Second grade is a year of adventure, curiosity, discovery and independence.  I look forward to our work together.

I live in Poughkeepsie with my husband, our two children and our dog, Kylo.

When I am not at school, I enjoy reading and collecting children's books, watching my children play sports, visiting the dog park, shopping at Target and drinking coffee!
