Welcome to Ms. Pires' Teacher Page

Hello friends and families, I have been teaching at Bay Elementary School for 17 years. I cultivate diversity, leadership, and acceptance in my classroom. I am a strong believer in teaching responsibility, accountability, and respect. Open, honest, and direct communication and feedback are paramount to succeed in the classroom and in life. I am available to help you work with your child, together as a team.

Inspired by
My students are my biggest inspiration. They help me be a better person and teacher. Time outdoors in nature and at the beach is part of my daily life, along with quality time and people. Yoga and mindfulness help keep me grounded. Love is the absence of judgment. ~Dali Lama

College
I am a teacher, mentor, colleague, sister, daughter, and friend with a sensitive heart. I attended San Francisco State University and received my BA in Psychology. I attended Chapman University and received my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. As a lifelong learner, I continue to attend trainings, conferences, and workshops, and I take courses to keep up in this fast-paced world.
