Welcome Ridgeview Families!

My name is Samantha Dew and I will be your child's 1st grade teacher this year. I grew up in Bloomington, Illinois and earned my teaching degree in Indiana. I moved to Colorado Springs in 2018 with my husband. I love to hike, ski, read, and spend time with my family. I have experience working in 1st and 3rd grade and I love being a Ridgeview husky!

I truly believe in the power of education and as your child's teacher, strive to ensure every child feels welcomed, safe, and loved every time they step foot into my classroom. I desire to create a community of learners where we learn, grow, and challenge each other. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me via email. I believe that we are a team and would love to work with you to help your child be successful in this school year and beyond.
