Welcome to our new class!! My name is Laura Rodi, and I am so excited to be your child's teacher

My favorite activities are spending time with my boys, running, being with friends, reading psychology books, and teaching!

In my opinion, first grade is the best grade to teach! The students are so excited to learn and so open to new ideas. The amount of growth that takes place this year is truly amazing, and I feel so lucky to lead them on this journey. Being your child's teacher is a dream come true for me, so please let me know if there is anything that I can do to make this year better for you and/or your child. I promise to treat them with the utmost care, respect and understanding. I realize the importance of the position I hold in their lives, and I will do everything in my power to help them reach their full potential. My goal this year is to help your child love school while developing into a strong reader, writer, and mathematician.

In order for your child to succeed, we must maintain a strong partnership. This includes an open line of communication. If you ever need to contact me, please do not hesitate to call or email me. I can only check my emails or messages before school, during lunch and prep, and after school. Therefore, if there is ever an emergency during school hours, and you need to reach me or your child immediately, please call the office at (623) 376-4300. Otherwise, my email is laura.rodi@dvusd.org, and my phone number is (623) 376-4334.

This is going to be such an amazing year!!! I thank you for your support. Most of all, I thank you for entrusting me with your beautiful child.
