Meet Mrs. Fields

My name is Cindy Fields, and I’m excited to be your first-grade teacher this year! I have been teaching for 18 years, and although I’ve taught many grade levels, first grade holds a special place in my heart — it’s definitely my favorite.

I grew up in Rochester, NY, and moved to Raleigh in 2005. I have been teaching in Wake County Public Schools for 16 years, and this will be my 11th year teaching first grade. I earned my Bachelor's degree from SUNY Brockport and then went on to pursue a dual Master’s degree in Education and Special Education from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY.

My husband, Mark, and I have two children, Ethan and Taylor. Ethan will be a Freshman at the University of Alabama, and Taylor is a sophomore in high school.. We stay busy playing a variety of sports together, including lacrosse, golf, and tennis. We also have a very spoiled dog named Gunner who brings us lots of happiness.

I’m looking forward to a wonderful year filled with growing, exploring, and learning alongside all of my first-grade friends!
