Welcome!

My name is Valerie Figueroa. I am excited to be teaching 5th grade this year at Rugledge Hall. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education (1-6) and an endorsment in English as a Second Langugae (ESL) from DePaul Univeristy Chicago. This past summer I taught ESL (K-8) with District 74. I'm looking forward to continuing working with the students and families of Lincolnwood. I am passionate about helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
