Hi! My name is Valerie Smith and I am very excited to be teaching a 4th/5th combo here at Frazier! I am looking forward to getting to know your child this year! Please contact me with any questions and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. 

I graduated from California State University of San Marcos a Bachelors Degree in history and a  Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential. I also have a Master's of Education degree in Education.

I am native to San Diego, and was raised in Oceanside. I have two children. Gabriel is 17 and Anthony is 15. I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the beach or mountains, gardening, and reading! I love to laugh too!
