Welcome to the 2023/2024 school year! I am more than looking forward to guiding, teaching, and learning with your treasures this year! This is my 19th year teaching. I  taught 2nd grade my first year at Terra Vista Elementary school and  the rest has been 3rd grade here at D. W. Long. I absolutely love teaching 3rd grade! I am married and have 4 so/so kids, just kidding I actually think they are pretty amazing! Kylie is 22 and is finishing up her degree in forensic psychology, which I find fascinating. Kennedy is 18 and is heading off to UC San Diego this fall to start her journey to become a teacher!  Kloee will be a junior at Etiwanda High School, she plays soccer and will be the junior class project manager. Finally, Carson is 8, yup we started all over again, he will be in 3rd grade here at Long. He loves hockey, baseball and Fortnite. When I am not at school, or running to sporting events I enjoy creating candy tables, shopping, going to country music concerts and eating Mexican food! In the summer you can find me at our cabin in Lake City Colorado, fly fishing, hiking and riding atvs. It is my hope to make this year, a year that your child remembers for years to come!

Welcome to Room 9! I am very excited about the 2023-2024 school year! I have been teaching at DWL for 19 years! I have taught first, second and third grade. I really love third grade.  I have also been a school technology clerk and a librarian. My two (grown up!) children attended this school too, so it feels like home to me. I hope to make our classroom feel like a family. I love to travel! This summer I went to New York City and Washington D.C. I also love to cook and bake for my family, friends, and students. I especially enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, Sully & Lenny. They are such a joy. My favorite subject in school has always been reading. It is my hope to help your child find a love of reading by helping them find just the right book to light that spark! Here is to a terrific year! 

Welcome to Room 11! I was blessed to grow up and go to school within the Etiwanda School District, and it is a special honor to be teaching and giving back to the same community that helped form who I am today. I received my BS in Sociology, my Teaching Credential and Masters in Education from Cal Baptist University. This is currently my 7th year teaching for Etiwanda, and my 4th year here at DW Long. My husband Basil and I have been married for 5 years and have three beautiful babies. Our son Parker is 3 years old, our daughter Sage is a year and a half, and we welcomed our son Miles this summer. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, playing board games, watching movies, and going to Disneyland. Some of my favorite things are Starbucks, Bath and Body Works, Target runs, dark chocolate, vanilla coke, and anything salty. I cannot wait to work with all of your students and watch them grow this year.

Welcome to Room 14! I am so excited to be your child's teacher 3rd grade teacher this year. This is my 8th year at DWL and I have had the pleasure of teaching 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. My husband Miguel and I have been married for 7 years and we have a beautiful son named Leo. Leo is 2 years old and he is the absolute best addition to our family! We also have an Australian Shepard named Marley:) I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, traveling to new places and visiting the river. I received my undergrad and credential from UC Riverside and I also received my masters in Teaching and Learning from UMASS Global.
