Hello Kindergarten Families!
Welcome to RCW and Jaguar Country and thanks for checking in! I graduated from RCW and am very excited to be a Jaguar again :) This is my fifth year of teaching, but first year teaching kindergarten. Previously, I taught School Readiness, Head Start, ECFE, and ESL. I am so happy to be a part of your child's learning journey here at RCW and look forward to a wonderful year learning with the Class of 2029!
