This week, we shine our PES Educator Spotlight on Mrs. Amy Riley! Mrs. Riley is a 2nd-grade teacher at PES and is in her 13th year of teaching in CCPS! She holds an Associate's Degree in Elementary Education, a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, and a Master's Degree in Early Childhood. Mrs. Riley is a member of our SIP PBIS/CDAT Committee. She plans to open her own school for birth to 2nd grade based on the Montessori methods of education.
