About Your Teacher

Hi! My name is Tanya Peters and I am so excited to be your child’s first grade teacher this year. I have been teaching for 11 years, and this is my 7th year at Red Rocks. Previously, I taught in Clinton, Connecticut and North Las Vegas, Nevada. Teaching young learners is my passion – I love the eagerness of little learners and am constantly amazed by the growth I get to witness day to day in my students. Here’s a little bit about me.

I grew up in Connecticut and graduated from the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!), and Sacred Heart University. My husband, Joseph, is from Vermont, and we love traveling to see our families in New England. We have a 2 1/2 year old son, Elliot. We have a happy golden retriever, Jude, as well as two cats.

I firmly believe in the importance of the home-school connection. If you ever have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. I want to assure you that above academic content and lessons, I will love and care for your child each day. Thank you for sharing your child with me!
