I just got word of where I will be student teaching in the fall. Should I send an email introducing myself and ask the teacher if I can come in and visit with her this year?

Mrs. Mikesell I think you should email her. Then the ball is in her court to decide. If it was me - I'd want to meet you ASAP so we could get to know each other!
