About Me
Hello! My name is Samantha Dybas (formerly Cousins). I am honored to be a part in your child's educational journey. I promise to provide a welcoming enviornment that both challenges and supports your child. I truly believe that a student reaches their full academic, behavioral, and social/emotional potential when both teachers and parents work together. Please contact me with any information that you feel would best help me support your child. I will do the same by contacting you daily with how the day went. I love to share the positives too, so don't be alarmed if you receive an email or phone call from me :-)

A Little More About Me:
I got married this summer! Some of you may know me as Ms. Cousins and some of you may only know me as my married name, Mrs. Dybas. I live in Manhattan with my husband, our two dogs, and (somewhat recent) our 3 chickens.
One dog is a Blue Heeler named Gunner and the other dog is a Husky-Pitbull mix named River. They keep us very active.
I grew up a student in the New Lenox School District so it's special to me that I get to work for this amazing district.
