Big News for Elk Valley Families!
Welcome back one of your favorites!
Meet Stephanie Dowell – First Grade Teacher
Stephanie Dowell serves as the First Grade Teacher at Elk Valley, where she brings more than 20 years of dedicated experience in education. Originally from Sharon Springs, a small town in northwest Kansas, Stephanie moved to Longton in 1996 after living in Overland Park with her husband, Douglas.
She holds an Associate of Science from Pratt Community College, a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Pittsburg State University, and a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education, also from Pittsburg State. Stephanie has worked in a variety of educational roles, including positions with the YMCA before/after school programs, as a paraprofessional, a Title I aide, and a teacher mentor. Throughout her career at Elk Valley, she has taught preschool, kindergarten, 1st grade, 5th and 6th grades, and middle school Language Arts and Social Studies.
Stephanie’s passion for teaching stems from her lifelong desire to inspire young minds to do great things. She considers Elk Valley her home and is excited to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new students and staff this school year.
Beyond the classroom, Stephanie enjoys singing on her church’s worship team—a passion sparked during college when she performed in show choir and several musicals. One of her favorite life mottos is Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” If given the chance to travel, she'd choose a cooler destination—she much prefers the cold over the heat!
Stephanie and her husband are proud parents of two children and grandparents to five wonderful grandchildren. She is honored to continue serving the Elk Valley community with joy, experience, and heart.
In just a few days, new teachers report! We look forward to all of the new staff and seeing all of you soon for registration!
We are also excited to welcome Mr. Tyler Coots as the new Principal at Elk Valley!
Mr. Coots grew up in Neodesha and now lives in Coffeyville with his wife, Ashley, and their three daughters. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Pittsburg State University (2015) and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, also from PSU (2023).
No stranger to Elk Valley, Mr. Coots previously served here from 2016 to 2020 before continuing his educational journey at Chetopa and most recently Coffeyville. His roles have included Physical Education teacher and basketball coach. Now, he’s thrilled to return to the EV family and step into his first year as principal.
Mr. Coots was drawn back to Elk Valley because of its strong sense of community and the close-knit, supportive school culture. He is passionate about building positive relationships and fostering a thriving environment for students and staff.
Outside of school, he’s a dedicated fan of the Chiefs, Royals, Sporting Kansas City, and the Boston Celtics. One of his favorite quotes comes from Isaiah 41:10: “So do not be afraid, I am with you. Do not be terrified, I am your God.” If given the chance to travel anywhere in the world, he’d love to visit Germany and Hawaii.
We are proud to have Mr. Coots leading Elk Valley and know this year will be full of growth and exciting opportunities!

Meet Jessica Osburn, Elk Valley’s enthusiastic new 2nd grade teacher! Jessica brings a wealth of experience, a global perspective, and a heart for teaching to the classroom. Born in Germany and raised as an Army brat, she’s lived in several states and countries—but now calls Independence, Kansas home, where she lives with her husband, youngest daughter, and their three playful dogs.
Jessica holds a Bachelor’s degree in Arts for Education from Newman University and a Master’s in Special Education from Emporia State University. She’s currently pursuing her second Master’s degree in Curriculum and Administration, further demonstrating her dedication to growth and excellence in education. Her teaching journey began at Jefferson School in Independence as a 4th grade teacher, followed by two years in special education.

This isn’t Jessica’s first time at Elk Valley—she served as a special education teacher here in 2020, and she’s thrilled to be back! She looks forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and becoming a part of the close-knit EV community once again.
In addition to her passion for teaching, Jessica speaks fluent German, enjoys traveling, discovering new music, and cheering on her favorite teams—the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, and Sporting KC. Her favorite book is The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, and if given the chance, she’d always choose Germany as her next travel destination—it’s where her roots are and holds a special place in her heart.

Hey 9th & 10th Grade Families!
If your student is in Mr. Russell’s Intro to Computer Science class, here’s some important info: This course is a graduation requirement for the Class of 2028 and younger, and it’s powered by Kansas State University’s Cyber Pipeline program. That means your student will be learning with college-level materials developed by K-State’s computer science experts!
The course uses online tools like Canvas (for organizing lessons) and Codio (a coding platform), which your student will use throughout the year. K-State faculty and grad students will support Mr. Russell by helping with grading and answering questions — so your student is in great hands!
Rest assured, all student data is carefully protected and only shared as needed to help teachers and support the program. Privacy and security are top priorities.
There’s also an optional part where students can take surveys to help improve the course — but participating won’t affect their grade or whether they can take the class.
Forms with more details will be available during enrollment, so keep an eye out. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mr. Russell at jrussell@usd283.org

We are counting down the days and counting up all the amazing new additions to Elk Valley! Meet the lady who will be bringing in some great teaching experience!
Meet Tara Yarnell, Elk Valley’s new 6th–12th Grade English Language Arts teacher! A lifelong resident of Erie, Kansas, Tara brings a deep passion for literature, writing, and student growth to her classroom. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in English Literature—both from Pittsburg State University—and is certified K-9 with a 6–12 ELA endorsement.
Tara has a rich background in education, having taught English at both the high school and college levels. Most recently, she taught ELA at Fredonia Jr/Sr High School for six years and Composition I at Pittsburg State University. She also previously taught at various community colleges, building a strong foundation in both instruction and mentorship.
After taking a year off following a personal loss, Tara was encouraged by a friend to visit Elk Valley—and it was love at first sight. She’s excited to return to the classroom, share her love of literature, and connect with students and colleagues in a supportive, close-knit environment.
Outside of school, Tara is married to her high school sweetheart, Mike. They’ve been together for over 30 years and share a beautiful family of five children and five grandchildren. Tara is a proud pet mom to three dogs and six cats, including her Husky, Echo, and Gaston, her late son’s beloved Bernadoodle. She’s also an avid fan of Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series, and one of her favorite quotes from the books is:
“These four sentences, when said easily, lead to wisdom: I’m sorry. I was wrong. I don’t know. I need help.”
If given the chance, she’d love to visit the UK or Canada to walk in the footsteps of her favorite authors and characters. Tara is thrilled to join the Elk Valley family and looks forward to building meaningful connections throughout the school year.
