SAI Teacher, Las Colinas Middle School
Welcome and Classroom Information
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!
The best way for students to stay on top of their assignments is by regularly updating their agendas. My contact information is listed below, so feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Please remember to check Parent Connect/Student Connect regularly to monitor your child's progress. While I use Google Classroom to share information and assignments, Parent Connect/Student Connect is the primary platform for tracking grades.
About Me:
Hello my name is Marissa Chavez. This is my 8th year teaching, and I have experience working with students from TK through 8th grade. I graduated from CSUCI with a BA in Liberal Studies, concentrating in special education. I also earned two credentials (Education Specialist and Multiple Subject) and have a MA in Education, with an emphasis on social-emotional learning, from AU. I recently received my Doctoral degree In Education (Ed.D.) , with my dissertation focusing on promoting collaboration between special and general education communities.
I love what I do and am passionate about being a supportive presence for students. Outside of teaching, I have a cat named Juice, my husband, and a wonderful family. I enjoy traveling, playing /watching sports, snowboarding and as a Ventura County local, I’m dedicated to giving back to my community by sharing the knowledge I’ve gained throughout my educational journey.
