Kindergarten & First Grade Supply Lists
Growing Together .... During the summer, Chillicothe Elementary School educators attended and even hosted workshops that focused on best practices in literacy and the Science of Reading.
Chillicothe Elementary has added an additional art teacher, Mrs. Katie Maples!!
Mrs. Maples is a 2006 Chillicothe High School Graduate. She attended Northwest Missouri State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, minor in Art Education, and a Concentration in Mathematics. In 2015 she graduated with a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from William Woods University.
Mrs. Maples began her teaching career for the Chillicothe R-II School District in 2010. She has taught 3rd grade for the past 13 years. This year she is excited to transition to Elementary Art Teacher. “When I attended college I was originally only going to major in art education, however, I found I could be creative in an elementary classroom too, so I got certified in both. I have loved my time teaching 3rd grade, but my passion is art and it is something I have always dreamed of teaching. I am so thankful for the opportunity to inspire a love of art in our students.”
Mrs. Maples is married to Jon, who is the Police Chief for the Chillicothe Police Department. They have two sons, Logan who will be in 3rd grade and Bryson who will be in Kindergarten.
Mrs. Maples was Field School Teacher of the Year in 2023 and is a welcome addition to our top notch specials team!
*Our elementary students (K-5) will have six specials: Art (2x-once with Mrs. Maples & once with Mrs. Keller) PE, PE/Health; Music; Library.

Mrs. Eller began her employment with the Chillicothe R-II School District in 2013 as Administrative Assistant at Garrison Preschool and later the Chillicothe Early Learning Center. "I'm excited to start my new position at CES as a support to the administrators, teachers and staff, but most importantly, I love being of service to the students and families in our district! Exciting things are happening in grades K-5 over the next year and I'm so happy to be a part of it!"
