Summer @ Lopez
We have been making a few changes over here this summer. One exciting change is our main office has a new look! After 30 years, we've replaced the office furniture. What do you think of the new look?
Class Lists
Families will receive an email from me around Aug. 10 with class placement information. The email will include your child's teacher assignment as well as reminders about back to school dates.
Pancake breakfast at Raintree Athletic Club

Aug. 18 and 19: Before School Assessment days
We
are asking for your help and support with this.
Teachers give many required assessments at the beginning of the
year. We’d like to handle many of the
assessments in literacy before school starts.
By doing this, teachers will not need as much substitute release time to
complete the assessments in September and October, and we gain some more
instructional time at the beginning of the year. Students will come to school for ½ day as
determined by the first letter of his or her last name. During this time, the child’s classroom
teacher will work with the student to complete the assessments. The schedule will be:

New Staff
Justin Hausmann-2nd grade teacher
Personal and Professional Background:
My name is
Justin Hausmann. My family and I can’t
wait to move back to Colorado from Cheyenne, where I have been teaching 1st
grade for the past 7 years. Before that, my wife, who teaches high school
English, and I made a check mark on our bucket list by teaching at the American
School in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. And,
before that I had taught first and second grade at Alice Terry Elementary, in
Sheridan, Colorado.
My sons are
also excited to go to school together and with “Daddy”. Andrew will be in first grade and loves math, and AJ will bring love and laughter to Mrs. Brown’s Kindergarten.
When I’m not
teaching or playing the guitar while students sing, you can find me with my
family, roasting marshmallows on a camp fire by a mountain that’s waiting to be
climbed.

Cheryl Day- 50% Assistant Principal/50% Gifted and Talented
Personal and Professional Background:
I am so
excited to be joining the Lopez team as Assistant Principal and Gifted and
Talented teacher. My educational
background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of
Maryland and a Master’s degree in Elementary Education from Millersville
University in Pennsylvania. Since moving
to Colorado 17 years ago, I have taught a variety of subjects and grade levels
in two different districts. Most
recently, I taught 3rd grade for six years in the Thompson School District. This
past spring I earned my Principal’s License through Colorado State
University.
My family includes my husband, Angus,
and our two young adult children, Kelsey and Garrett. Of course, I can’t leave out our Border
collie mix, Echo. In my free time, I
love reading and am a huge Harry Potter fan.
I also enjoy solving crossword puzzles, tending my garden, biking on the
great paths around Fort Collins, and working on my novice golf game.
My favorite part of being an educator
is helping students discover and develop their unique talents. I look forward to working with you and your
children this year!
Tracy Kelley- Early Childhood teacher
Personal and Professional Background:
My name is Tracy Kelley, and I am very excited to become
part of the Lopez Community!
My family includes my husband Dan, our sons Caden (16) and
Cayce (15) and our two dogs, Durango and Blue. We have lived in Fort
Collins for 14 years. For the past 8 years I was an Early Childhood
Special Education teacher in the Windsor School District. When I'm not
teaching I love to hike, bike, garden, and read. (I even have a Little
Free Library in the garden in my front yard!) I look forward to meeting all of you!

Personal and Professional Background:
My name is Carol Campos. I have a wonderful
husband, Ed and have been very blessed to have three great children and four

you come through the office next year!!
