Rana Alrubaie _ Willow Elementary 


Rana Alrubaie has been a wonderful addition to Willow Elementary's EL Support Staff for five years.  She is passionate about working with students and encourages them to try their best to meet their accademic goals.  Rana states, "I was an English Learner too, so I know how hard and challenging it can be.  It feels great to help others succeed.  It's about opening doors to opportunities and personal growth."    Rana is happily married with two beautiful children.  On her down time, she loves to shop and travel.  Charter Oak Unified School District is very lucky to have someone as dedicated as she is on their staff.  

Thank you for all you do!

About me

My name is Kim Ertle and I have worked for Charter Oak Unified for twenty-four years in the  English Language Department and six years as their English Language Coordinator.  My passion is teaching reluctant students to write and feel successful in the process.  Before COUSD, I taught sixth-eighth grade English, history, and religion at St. Louise de Marillac School.  I am excited to take on this new role as EL TOSA and assist our community in supporting our English Language Learners.
