Santa Rosa Valley

As an experienced teacher, I want to work in an environment where students come first. At Somis, due to their commitment to small class sizes and individualized instruction, I have time to address their needs and get to know them and their families. At a large middle school, it's easier for students to get lost or go unrecognized, but in our setting, I spend an enormous amount of time with students and support them in every way possible. My class is always open, and I have parents that stop by, email, or call on a regular basis. We create a partnership that maximizes their success and sends them on a path to success in high school and beyond. I love Somis and I love my Somis students! We are a family, and many of my former students still come to visit when they can.

Special ed teacher and staff at this school need training. Their lack of training makes it unsafe. Our son left the school in a gurney!
