My name is Valerie Metler, and I am going to be your child’s second grade teacher.  I am excited for the new school year to start, and I can’t wait to meet you! 

I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1998, and I started teaching right away here in Las Vegas.  In December of 2011, I completed my Master’s Degree in Differentiated Instruction.  I have been at O’Roarke since the school opened.  It is a privilege for me to be teaching at this wonderful school with such an amazing community.  I absolutely love my job, and I am looking forward to another great year!

When I’m not teaching, I have several other hobbies.  Traveling is one of my favorite things to do! This summer we took a road trip along the East Coast and explored Connectitcut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hamsphire, and Maine. We had a wonderful time! When I'm not traveling, I love shopping, organizing, reading, and spending time with my family and friends. I'm excited to get to know each of you!
