A Little About
​Myself.

Hello! I am Katey Custer, and I am 35 years old. I currently live in Arthur, with my husband, Tyler, and our four daughters. Tyler and I met in high school and have been together for nearly 20 years! Our daughters are McKayla, 18, Chloe, 14, Bella, 11, and Lorelei, 3. They are great kids that certainly keep us busy!

I attended both EIU and Millikin University. I received my Bachelors of Science in Family Consumer Sciences-Family Services and my Professional Educators License in Elementary Education with a Social Sciences and English as a Second Language Endorsement. This is my seventh year teaching, but my third year in Bement!

I am so excited for this school year! I am always available through email, Class Dojo, or a phone call call to the school if you need anything!

Educational Philosophy

I am looking forward to having your child as a student. For the first five years, I taught second grade, but I am in my second year teaching RTI. Supporting students in their educational journey and guiding them towards the tools to make them successful learners is priority. In order to have a fantastic year, my most important goal is to create a family of learners in my classroom. I am committed to creating a classroom environment where your child is a valued, trusted, and integral part that family. I believe every student deserves a safe place to develop a lifelong love of learning and work diligently to make sure our classroom is that place for them. It is my hope that you will support and encourage this vision at home.

Meet Mrs. Hinton-RTI Classroom Aide

I have been with Bement Schools for around 21 years.  My husband Cary and I live and farm land in rural Bement.  I received my Bachelor’s of Arts in Theatre from Illinois College.

I have many different roles here at Bement!  I am in the RTI room for most of my day, but you can also find me in the cafeteria for breakfast and lunch or in the high school office standing in for Mrs. Bradley.  

You may see me helping out in classrooms or in other areas of the school as well!  You never know where I may pop up!
I look forward to working with all of our students this year!
