Nicole is the lead onsite elementary teacher for grades K-3 at SMVU. She started her career at Jackson Public Schools 24 years ago after earning her undergraduate degree from Eastern Michigan University in Elementary Education. She also has a Masters Degree in Education from Marygrove College.

Mrs. Spagnuolo highly recommends SMVU because of the flexibility and one-on-one support given academically and socially from highly qualified teachers to allow students to reach their full potential. The individual and group support for students creates a sense of community that sets it apart from other virtual schools.

When not working with students, Mrs. Spagnuolo enjoys travel, reading, outdoor activities, and spending time with family and friends.
