Ms. Tamara Caraker

Welcome to 2nd Grade!

Hello!  My name is Tamara Caraker, and I would like to welcome you and your child to the 2023-24 school year!  This will be my 21st year in education, and my 8th year in the Waynesville R-VI school district.  This will be my fourth year teaching 2nd grade, and I am so excited to begin this new school year with you and your child!  I have previously taught 1st, 3rd, and 4th grades.  

I have one awesome son, Charlie, who is a sound engineer/production manager for touring bands and lives in Nashville, TN.  I love poodles and have a 16-year-old chocolate-colored, toy poodle named Max who is extremely spoiled. I have a brother and his family who live in Columbia.  I reside near the Lake of the Ozarks along with my wonderful mother.

I look forward to working very closely with you to ensure your child has the best 2nd grade school year possible!
