Hello! My name is Rachel Cavender and I am the 3rd- 5th grade Math teacher at San Gabriel Mission Elementary School. I began at Mission as the 3rd-5th grade Instructional Aide and this is my first year as a classroom teacher!
I grew up in a K-12 Catholic school environment. I attended St. James the Less Elementary school and Alverno Heights Academy for high school. I completed my Bachelor's Degree at Northern Arizona University with a dual major in Special and Elementary Education. I am currently completing my Master's degree with a special emphasis in Special Education.
I am a firm believer in that all children are unique. As an educator it is my goal to provide a stimulating and educational environment where students can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. I am excited to help each student express themselves and find what works best for them.
I am looking forward to a great school year and cannot wait to see all that we are able to learn this year!
