Heidi Cheifer's Animoji

Mrs. Cheifer

I was born in West Covina, CA and have lived in Southern California for my entire life. I attended the Etiwanda School District from Kindergarten through eighth grade, and I graduated from Etiwanda High School. After graduating from Etiwanda, I earned my B.A. in Anthropology from Cal State Fullerton, and my teaching credential from Redlands University.

I have been happily married for over 24 years. I love traveling, reading, and spending time with my family. My husband and I have traveled to all 50 states and to 44 different countries; in the future I hope to add many more!

This is my eighteenth year working for the Etiwanda School District, and my twelfth year as a teacher at Windrows. I look forward to teaching third grade for the 2024/2025 school year!

Parent communication is done via Rooms App. Please download the Etiwanda App and Rooms will be an option on the bottom right corner.

This supply list is a list of suggested items that you may provide for your child. All supplies, materials, and equipment needed for the school year are provided by the school.

  • 1 pair of scissors (lefties if your child is left-handed)

**Now that each student will have a Chromebook checked out to them for the school year, We have found that if your child has their own headphones and mouse (wireless please), it makes navigating through the various websites and activities much easier.
