3rd Grade

My name is Jolie Bradley and I have a passion for teaching. I received my undergraduate degree from UNC and I got my masters from Walden University. My masters is in Reading and Literacy. I am privileged to teach at Rock Ridge Elementary, and be part of what I believe is one of the most worthy professions in the world.

On a more personal note, I have lived in Colorado my entire life. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. Besides my passion for teaching and spending time with friends and family, I enjoy going to the movies, shopping at the Vera Bradley store, and I love decaf coffee.

I am looking forward to working with you and your child in this very important year of their lives. It is my hope that you and I can work together as a team to help your child learn in the best way possible. As we work together with your child, we will be seeing a lot of growth over the course of the year. My goal for this year is for each student to learn in a stimulating and responsive learning environment. Students will engage in collaborative learning, individual work, and discovery through inquiry. In my classroom, students will acquire a solid foundation of general and global knowledge as well as develop a joy of learning. Students will develop critical thinking skills and learning will flourish.   Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Hello! My name is Margarette Goldman and I am very excited to be a part of the Rock Ridge family! I graduated from Florida International University and have been in education for over a decade. 

My family and I are transplants from South Florida, now thoroughly enjoying life in beautiful Colorado. I love being with my family and friends, crafting, reading, and spending time outdoors. I am also a part of an organization for women educators that values diversity, quality education, and world understanding. 

With a passion for education, I have experience teaching in the classroom as well as an interventionist. My mission is to inspire a love of learning in my students, ensuring they grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally.

My name is James Michael Rasavage II.
It is my 20th year at Rock Ridge Elementary, and 25th year as an educator.

Teaching is my passion. I began my education as an environmental scientist.  I have an Environmental Science degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania where I was educated in Geology, Hydrology, Mineralogy, Astronomy, and Meteorology.  I also hold a master’s degree in Elementary Education from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.  I consider math, science, critical thinking, and communication my strengths as an educator. 

I am the advisor/founder for Rock Ridge’s recycling club: Green Team.  I initiated and developed this after school program in 2004 with the belief that it is my responsibility to teach the next generation to be environmentally aware and understand the importance of conservation in our community.

I am so excited to start another amazing year. Go eagles!
