Ms. D'ette Bolton

I am adopted and grew up in a big family. I love going to concerts in my spare time. I am always dreaming of when I will book my next flight to London to see friends and just explore the city more than I already have! I decided to become an education specialist because I like teaching and I have personal experience in the special needs world. I have siblings who have Autism and Intellectual Disability. They have made me see the world very differently and they drive me to be a better person day in and day out.

Degrees and Certifications:

Attended Cal State, San Bernardino Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Education Intern Teaching Credential in Mild/Moderate Special Education

Mrs. Amber Cowell

Education was a calling I didn't even know that I had. I started my college career as a Musical Theatre major at California State University, San Bernardino. As I pursued my dream of becoming a famous actress, I started work as an instructional aide in special needs classrooms. Slowly but surely, I discovered that I had a true passion for teaching children and helping them to find value in themselves and their education. I completed my bachelor's degree but as a Theatre Education major to "keep the curtain open" for any future prospects in theatre. Once I graduated, I applied to be a Special Education Intern at CSUSB and found my home at Rialto Middle School.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hernandez

My name is Elizabeth Hernandez and I love teaching at RMS! I also love the Spanish language and received a Bachelor's in Spanish before I pursued my credential in Special Education. I feel privileged to work with the students and parents at RMS. The students I serve are amazing and I enjoy teaching them and interacting with them. My favorite activity to do with the students in the classroom is cooking, though I also enjoy English. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing tennis, and going to the beach.

Mr. Luis Pulido-Lopez

I believe that every child deserves to have a safe learning environment where they can learn, make mistakes, and have a voice. My goal as an educator is to ensure that all children are given the opportunity to grow, not only as students but as human beings.

My name is Sarah Gonzalez and this will be my sixth year teaching. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are English and Science.

I am proud to be a teacher here at RMS!

Mrs. Michelle Rozsi

I started in the Rialto USD in 2005, teaching 1st grade. My journey led me to continuing my education and moving into the special education field. In 2009, I transitioned to middle school and special education. I continued my education and earned a PPS credential in school psychology and have worked as a school psychologist since 2016.

Outside of work, I love spending time with friends and family. I love the beach, river, and Glamis. During the fall and winter months I spend many weekends camping and off-roading ("duning") in Glamis with my family. During the summer months, I love to be near the water.
