My name is Mrs. Asta Cuplinskas. I teach 4th and 5th grade Science, Spelling, and Religion. I have been both a parent and a teacher at St. Mary! My children received a fine education here, and they continue to prioritize their faith and academics to this day. I have a BS from the University of Chicago and an MS from Northwestern.  In Science I provide opportunities for students to explore, question, and test their ideas. I keep students engaged by providing real-world context while maintaining high expectations for content learning. My email is acuplinskas@stmaryriverside.org .
