PLS/IB Coordinator - Pam Gutierrez

Mrs. Gutierrez

My name is Mrs. Pam Gutierrez and I thoroughly enjoy being the Professional Learning Specialist, IB/PYP Coordinator, READ Act Coordinator, G/T Facilitator, Kindergarten School Readiness Coordinator, and 504 Coordinator here at Rock Ridge Elementary.

I've been in education for nearly 30 years in Poudre R-1 District, Arapahoe County, Douglas County, and in the private sector; at Word of Life Academy. I have been at Rock Ridge Elementary for 16 years and in DCSD since 2002. I received my BA in Child Psychology from Utah State University, my teaching degree from the University of Northern Colorado, and my Master's degree in Education from Grand Canyon University.

I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, hiking, traveling, shopping, and watching the Colorado sunsets. I was born in South Dakota and grew up in Iowa but went to high school here in Colorado.

My husband is an Elementary School Executive Director here in Douglas County.

We have a son and daughter who also attended & graduated from Douglas County Public Schools.

My favorite weekend activities are watching my son and daughter play ball. They are the loves of my life!

I am truly blessed to continue my career and have my leadership position here at Rock Ridge Elementary!
