Rose Garden Elementary School

💚 Give it up for another new Owl! 🦉

Join us in extending a huge Rose Garden welcome to...✨Mrs. Kelly Martinez, Math Interventionist!✨

Here's a message from Mrs. Martinez:

"My name is Kelly Martinez! I have had the privilege of working with students as an elementary classroom teacher for the past 24 years (20 of those have been right here in SCUCISD!). I am so excited to be joining the Rose Garden family as the campus Math Interventionist! Helping students achieve their goals, as well as believing in themselves, is my passion!

My two FAVORITE things in the world are my two boys. I have a senior, Aiden, and a freshman, Liam, in high school this year (and no, I’m not ok 😭!!!!) Currently, all of my “favorite” things evolve around their passions (baseball and marching band). I LOVE watching them both strive to do their best on and off the field! When I do get a moment to myself, I love to take my dog, Gizmo, on walks at the park!

👇 Help us welcome Mrs. Martinez to the RGE Family! Have a piece of advice or encouragement for her? Leave it in the comments!

💚🦉 New Owl Alert! 🦉💚

We have some amazing new staff members joining the Rose Garden Family! Over the next few days, we’ll be introducing our new team, so keep an eye out for more posts. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome!

First up, let’s welcome ✨Mrs. Stephanie Piris, First Grade Teacher! ✨

Here is a quick message from Mrs. Piris:

"Hello! This will be my 8th year teaching, and I’m so excited to be teaching 1st grade again! I’ve had the joy of teaching students from Pre-K through 2nd grade in both Virginia and Texas. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University. Outside of the classroom, I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and together we have two wonderful boys and two dogs! I enjoy cooking, organizing, and relaxing with a good documentary. My favorite treats are Reese’s, Nerds, and an ice-cold soda! I am most excited to meet my new group of students, build meaningful relationships, and create learning experiences and memories they will never forget!"

Happy Monday!

As our incredible teachers walk back through the doors to kick off a brand new school year today, we want to shine a massive spotlight on the heart of our campus leadership: our Principal Mrs. Smoot and Assistant Principals Robyn Pryor and Elvira Garcia.

Leading a school is a heavy lift. It means managing endless logistics, advocating for staff, ensuring safety, and holding the heart of our school culture together (often long before the sun comes up and well after the building goes quiet).

Behind every successful school year is a leadership team working tirelessly behind the scenes so our teachers and students can shine. Today, as we officially welcome our staff back, we want to say thank you to our Principal and APs for their grit, their grace, and their relentless devotion to our school community. We couldn't ask for a better team leading the charge into this amazing school year!
