About Mrs. Durrans

Hello Students and Families!

I am the English Learner and reading intervention teacher at Olive Grove.  You can find me in the Learning Center.  It is my 23rd year of teaching and I am excited for another year!  I graduated in 1993 from Mills College with a bachelor's degree in Theater Arts and English Literature.  I received my  Multiple Subject Teaching Credential in 2001 from Antioch College and hold a Reading Specialist credential from UC San Diego.  My teaching career began in Los Angeles, but I have been in the Dry Creek School District since 2007.  I've taught every grade from K-5 and just LOVE teaching!

In addition to teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, hiking, watching soccer, and just being outside.  My family consists of my husband, Paul, and our two daughters, ages 18 and 20.  We also have a very spoiled Boston Terrier named Ivy!
