I am thrilled to be joining the Glenmeade community. I bring over twenty years of experience in education, having taught grades K–5, served as a reading specialist, and worked in a Teacher on Special Assignment role for the past nine years in West Covina Unified School District. I am deeply passionate about supporting students, collaborating with colleagues, and contributing positively to a school community.
On a personal note, I live in Orange County with my husband of 26 years. We have two adult children—our son, Jake, who recently graduated from Emerson College in Boston, and our daughter, Kara, who is currently a junior at Ringling College of Art and Design. In my free time, I enjoy golfing with my husband, traveling, and spending cozy days at home snuggling with our kitties.I am looking forward to getting to know all the staff, students, and families here at Glenmeade.
Thank you,
Mrs. Cindy Okamoto, Glenmeade Assistant Principal
