Welcome to Iola Roberts Elementary School, I am Melissa Kelley and this is my 6th year  at Iola Roberts. I am married to Brad Kelley and we have one son, Drake.  I enjoy cooking, traveling and reading! I believe that it is my job to instill a love of learning in your child. An educator's job is more than teaching students the basics, it is our job to equip students with the ability to think for themselves, think critically, solve problems and above all to develop a sense of responsibilty and a passion for learning new things whenever possible! I know you and your child will have a wonderful experience at Iola Roberts!

As the Instructional Support Specialist at Iola it is my job to support the teachers and students. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. I look forward to working with you and your child throughout the year!
