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 21st year of teaching and my 18th 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, nine 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 4, at 10:30 for our orientation! School starts Monday, August 7th.  Please continue to check your emails and Rooms App for class updates.  I'm looking forward to a great year!

Announcements

Most announcements will be shared through the Rooms app. Please make sure to turn your notifications on.

Spirit Day is every Friday so remember to wear a Lightfoot shirt or purple and/or turquoise to show your school spirit.
