Welcome Back! Thank you for entrusting your child to my care. I look forward to the year ahead with great enthusiasm.

This is my 16th year teaching.    I hold a Master's Degree in Elementary Education, Bilingual Education, and Special Education.  I hold Teaching Certifications for grades K through 6 from the State of New York, and AMS Montessori Elementary Certification for ages 6 through 9 from CMTE New York.  I am a mother of two grown children and grandmother to two beautiful grandchildren.  Please do not hesitate to contact me via email at arivas@yonkerspublicschools.org or text if you should have any questions or concerns. My number is 917 670-4589. However, if the matter is urgent please call the office as I check my phone only at lunch and after school.
