About Mrs. Guillen
|
Hello!
My Name is Tracy Guillen and I am Clark Elementary's full-time librarian. I've been teaching elementary-aged students since 1997. During that time, I taught highly capable 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, kindergarten, a 4th and 5th grade science and technology magnet program. This is my eighth year working as a teacher-librarian. I love my job! I have many favorite books and authors, but the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls are among my favorites. I enjoy a good fantasy story and I LOVE dogs! When I'm not teaching at Clark, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, running, traveling, and of course READING! -Mrs. Guillen |
Expectations
At Clark, we are SAFE, KIND, and PRODUCTIVE. In the library this means:
- We treat materials with care.
- We enter and exit the library quietly
- We walk in the library
- We listen attentively and quietly when another person is talking.
- We stay focused on our task.

Volunteering in the Library
We LOVE volunteers! If you are interested in helping, you'll need to complete the Issaquah School District's online application and be approved prior to volunteering. We offer a short training at the beginning of the school year to teach you about the library procedures.
