Welcome to the Gator Family 2019-2020
Welcome to our 4th Grade Team Mrs. Cammie Palagonia
Cammie began her teaching career with CUSD at San Marcos Elementary, where she spent 5 years teaching grades 4 and 5. In 2011, she and her husband decided to go on an adventure with their children, so they moved to the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East. Cammie has taught grades 1, 2, and 3 to Emirati students for 5 years in public schools in Abu Dhabi. In 2016, they moved to Dubai, and have spent the last 3 years teaching grades 2 and 4 at a private American curriculum school. Cammie and her family are all very excited to return to Chandler and once again be a part of the CUSD family.

Welcome to our Specials Team Miss Liana Clareson
Liana Clareson will be teaching General Music at CTA Goodman next year. She graduated from Miami University Class of 2017 with a degree in Music Education with a Choral/General focus and moved to Arizona to pursue her dream of teaching. Her favorite part of teaching has always been the relationships she has built with students and families.
