God gives the opportunities. I teach 5th grade. This is my 3rd year in ps after 19 in a Christian school. I have a few scriptures on and near my desk and my students know I go to church. I have had several opportunities to talk about God, creation, and my faith in a non- threatening way. Simply because it has come up in the conversation. I know which of my students believe in God and when they are struggling I can encourage them with scripture. Otherwise I pray for those that don’t believe yet.
Exactly my point :)
Just slowly wade into the water and then tread lightly!
Find people that are also religious. I slowly let words about praying or religion come out during conversations here and there and slowly find other Christians :)
When I disagree with something on a biblical basis (like evolutionary theory presented as fact), I use words like... "In my personal philosophy of life, I don't agree with this," or "This doesn't resonate with my own worldview..." I also freely admit to using these words as bait to get students to ask me what I mean by my philosophy or worldview, so I can answer with the Gospel. (But that's a lot easier to get away with in MS than it is in WA, I'm sure.)
I'm finding it to be increasingly more difficult. Some things are 100% contrary to truth and Biblical principles, and I don't participate (quietly).

By teaching elementary school.
I haven't come anything in our curriculum (that I recall) that I had a problem with theologically. But we don't really teach origin theories at this level, either.
Now, our behavior system I have a serious problem with, but I have straight told my admin that I won't use it. Thus far it hasn't been an issue for my srudents, overall. They'll fire me if it becomes a problem. 🤷♀️
May I ask what kinds of things you have been dealing with where you are to prompt this question?
