Hello, families!

My name is Erica Buchiarelli and I am thrilled to be your child's teacher this year. I received my Bachelor of Arts in psychology from USC, Master of Arts in psychology from University of the Rockies, and multiple subject teaching credential from CSUSB.

I have two wonderful children and have been married to my sweet husband for thirteen years! My daughter is in fourth grade and my son is in first! My children go to school in our wonderful district as well. Parenting a kindergartener is a beautiful adventure and it's a big year for the whole family. I am looking forward to helping your child have a fantastic, fulfilling, enriching school year!

I am a proud product of our district! I attended second through eighth grade in the Etiwanda School District and my family has taught in the district for over 20 years. John L. Golden Elementary School is a very special place to learn, grow, and reach your highest potential! I am so very honored to be a part of that for your child.

Kindergarten is a big year of growth! You will be amazed by what your child will learn to do by May. In our class, we will engage in a variety of hands-on learning activities that spark curiosity, foster enthusiasm for school, and set important foundational skills for academic success. We will also have lots of fun!

Teaching your child is a great privilege. Thank you for allowing me to partner with you in their education.
