Mrs. Diomedes

Welcome to transitional kindergarten! My name is Amy Diomedes and I am so happy to be your child’s teacher this year! This is my 22nd year of teaching and my 19th year here at Lightfoot. My heart lies with the younger kiddos and TK is my favorite grade to teach.

I live in Alta Loma with my husband David, ten year old daughters Lucy and Isla, and my dog Franco. I love to travel, play games, ride bikes, go to the beach, and read.

I am looking forward to meeting each of you! This year will be filled with excitement, joy, and lots of learning.

Please join us Friday, August 2, at 1:00 for our orientation! School starts Monday, August 5th.  Please continue to check your emails and Rooms App for class updates.  I'm looking forward to a great year!
