It is my mission to instill a love of learning and a desire for knowledge within each student. To provide a nurturing and stimulating learning environment that gives students the courage to try new things, the curiosity to seek new answers and the ability to become lifelong leaders.

Ken Fernandes
5th Grade Teacher

This will be my seventeenth year proudly teaching in RCSD, and my second year as a jaguar! I tremendously enjoy helping students to reach their full academic, personal, and social potentials while maintaining engaging and collaborative working environments. My mission as an educator is to guide my students to develop and cultivate growth mindsets in regard to their own learning, critical thinking, and goal setting. I have 180 days to positively influence students’ abilities to navigate the multi-tasking demands of the world around them, and I take every day very seriously.

5th Grade Teacher

I want to create a community in my classroom where every student feels supportive and takes initiative in their learning. My goal for this school year is for every student to leave my classroom feeling more confident in themselves than when they came in. I am committed to building a relationship with each student in order to support their individual needs and help develop them as a whole.

Heidi Schuman
2nd Grade Teacher

As your child’s teacher, my goal is to create an environment in which all my students feel safe, cared for, and will be able to learn to their greatest potential. I realize that students have different needs and learning styles and I try to discover what works best for each student. I will also strive to give them opportunities to share their interests and individuality.
