Hello My Name Is...

Mrs. Gina Ellis

I have been working with students who have special needs for more than 15 years. I began my teaching career in the public school system in New York City, where I also received my Master of Science in Education with an emphasis in Special Education. I returned to California in 2012, and have been working as an RSP/SPED teacher at Heritage Intermediate School for the last 9 years.

This year my focus is the subjects of Language Arts and Social Studies. I will be teaching in the General Education setting (RSP), as well as the Self-Contained setting (SDC). I have a partner teacher, Mrs. Provines, who will focus on the subjects of Math and Science, also in the RSP and the SDC settings.

I am excited for all the adventure and wonder that will be experienced in the 6th grade this year!
