Mrs. Harris

Welcome Coyotes!

I have a passion for teaching and a love of learning which I feel was instilled in me by my elementary years spent in the Etiwanda School District.  This is my 19th year teaching!

I graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with a degree in Liberal Studies, and a concentration in Language Arts. I went on to obtain my teaching credential at the University of Redlands when I began my teaching career; interning as an elementary teacher at D.W. Long and C.P. Lightfoot Elementary. Upon completion of my credential, I taught at Etiwanda Intermediate School for eight years and during which time I earned my master’s degree in Educational Administration.  This is my tenth year at Day Creek Intermediate school and I couldn’t be more excited!

I have lived in Rancho Cucamonga all of my life and I absolutely love this community. 

I am really looking forward to this year and all of the fun adventures in learning we will have.  Please feel free to contact me anytime, I believe parent involvement is an integral part of each child’s success!

Universal Access "PACK"

The UA period adds an extended instructional period to the school day by where students are grouped based on standardized data, district assessments, common formative assessments, and classroom performance. All students are grouped by academic target areas for UA classes. UA classes are designed to meet the unique academic needs of students by offering multiple levels of differentiated flexible classes. UA class changes may occur throughout the year as student levels of performance are realigned with the UA class that provides the best support.
