Hello Room 303 Families!
My name is Colleen Castillo and I am thrilled to be your child's first grade teacher! This year I will be job sharing with Gabrielle Porkolab. Ms. Porkolab will work on Mondays and Tuesdays and I will work the rest of the week.
I have been teaching since 1999 in a variety of grades throughout the years, but first grade is where we grow tremendously. I have finally found the best school ever and have been here since 2020. There are so many things I love about being a teacher, but the best part are the kiddos!
I am a San Diego native and have my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I married my best friend in Maui in 2005, and have a wonderful daughter and son! I absolutely love traveling and the outdoors. But my happy place, by far, is the beach and being with my family.
I look forward to a wonderful year with you and your child. I believe communication is so important and I value your input as you know your child better than anyone! It is truly an honor to be teaching here at EBS!
Sincerely,
Colleen Castillo
First Grade Teacher
