Sycamore Ridge School
Hi! Welcome to the 26-27 school year!
My name is Paige Ruffino, and I am thrilled to teach third grade at Sycamore Ridge.
I’ve always known I wanted to be a teacher, and that passion continues to grow every year. Originally from the Central Valley, I moved to San Diego almost four years ago and earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential while completing my student teaching within the district. After a wonderful first year here at Sycamore Ridge, I’m very excited to be back for my second year and stepping into 3rd grade! I can’t wait to build a positive, engaging classroom community and make this an incredible year together.

I believe that every student brings a unique set of strengths, needs, and dreams to the classroom. I strive to honor the whole child by building an inclusive, engaging environment where curiosity is celebrated, critical thinking is nurtured, and social-emotional growth is woven into everyday learning. My goal is to create a learning environment that provides a space where students feel safe, capable, and curious.
Third grade is a year of big discoveries and exciting growth! As your children transition into more independent thinkers, our classroom will be a warm, supportive community where they are challenged to try new things and take pride in their learning. Together, we’ll build strong reading, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills that build a strong foundation for their continued elementary experience.
I grew up in Fresno, California, but moved to Carmel Valley about four years ago with my goofy husband, Jordan. When I'm not in the classroom, I love spending time outside, being active, reading, playing card or board games, and visiting family all over the States!
