First Grade Teachers

Heather Chiaro
As an educator at TPES, I am given the opportunity to teach students in an interactive and engaging learning environment and to work alongside a collaborative team of educators and families. I provide a kind, positive, and enriched classroom that challenges students each and every day. Making a difference, motivating students, embracing change, and spreading positivity is what it means to be a teacher at TPES.

I love teaching 1st Grade at Torrey Pines Elementary. Being a teacher here I value the teacher-student connection within their educational development. Seeing my class grow and learn together is the best feeling a teacher can have. I look forward to this year, it is going to be a great year of learning.
