Welcome to the 2023-24 School Year!

My name is Ms. Taylor and I am excited to start my 27th year of teaching at Valley View Elementary.  I began this journey at Cal State Fullerton, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts and then a Multiple Subject, Cross-Cultural Language, and Academic Development Teaching Credential from Cal State San Bernardino.  Additionally, I obtained a CORE Elementary Reading Academy Certificate in 2018. 

Directing a children's choir and community service activities keep me busy; but, I make every effort to carve out quality time for the things I love most:  family, friends, kids, theatre, DIY projects, reading, and listening to a variety of musical genres.   

I love teaching, as well.  Each year, I look forward to building relationships with new students and witnessing the academic and social growth that occurs within the first-grade classroom.  Likewise, I look forward to developing a partnership with you, so that your child will realize their unlimited potential.  

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns,
