Hello! I am Kim Ropple and I will be your 5th grade teacher this year!I am so excited to get to know all of my new students and your families.

I grew up right here in Santee where I attended Hill Creek, Rio Seco, and Santana High School. I then went on to Grossmont College, SDSU, and National University. This is my 13th year with Santee School District and my 12th year here at Carlton Hills. My heart is at Carlton Hills, and I love this school so much!

I live here in Santee with my family; My husband (Zak), and daughter (Quinn). Quinn will be in 3rd grade this year at Carlton Hills, and she is so excited! In my spare time, I like to go to the beach, hike, camp, travel, read, explore San Diego, and spend time with friends and family
