Meet the Teacher

I'm so glad you're here!

My name is Roxanne Barnes and 5th graders are my kind of people! This will be my seventh year teaching 5th grade and second year at Westlake Charter School. I grew up in Redding, CA and have fond memories of camping, boating on Shasta Lake, and spending lots of time with my family and friends. 

I received my Bachelors of Science in 2014 from UC Davis. I also completed my teaching credential program and received my Masters in Education from UC Davis by 2018. Go Aggies!

I currently live in the Natomas area with my husband, John, and our cat named Meowshka. 

Favorites List

I am very lucky that my sister is my best friend...and neighbor! We like to go on walks and watch some of our favorite shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race.

This is Meowshka, our very talkative and fluffy cat. If you look close, you will be able to see she has a "cat-stache". 

John and I got married August 31, 2019. John is a mechanical engineer and works for SMUD. He is currently restoring a 1969 Ford Mustang....but right now I playfully call it a garage ornament.
