Fifth Grade

Ms. Salazar
Welcome! I am Mrs. Salazar. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I have two beautiful daughters that keep me busy when I am not working along with my supportive spouse. When we are not working we love to travel, watch movies, and shop. I have been teaching for 6 years now. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix and a Masters Degree in Instruction and Curriculum at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. My beliefs of the curriculum should be to promote independent thinking and learning, in order to gain the competence and confidence necessary to be life-long learners and strong members of society. It should contain age-appropriate lessons with correlations to real-world scenarios. This will encourage the students to take responsibility for their own learning.

Mr. Harvey
Hi there! I’m Mr. Harvey and this marks my first year at both CCSD and Ruby Duncan Elementary School. Prior to becoming a professional educator, I proudly served over 20 years in the United States Air Force. My own military experience, as well as having come from a highly service-oriented family, undoubtedly played a pivotal role in shaping the person that I’ve become. My life journey has also afforded me countless opportunities to travel the world, becoming immersed in and learning from wonderful people of many different cultures and communities. It is largely with this perspective that I approach the coming school year as a dedicated 5th grade teacher who endeavors to instruct, guide, and help every young learner develop a positive, productive mindset built upon a lasting intellectual foundation on which to cultivate a lifetime of learning, growth, and community involvement.

Mr. Wagley
My name is Mr. Wagley and I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I attended several Elementary and Middle Schools and eventually graduated from Cimarron Memorial High School. I have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, Masters Degree in Educational Administration, TESL ASC, and Special Education ASC. When not at work I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my loved ones; that includes my 3 dogs. My favorite part of being a teacher is guiding students to achieve their goals, and their excitment when they realize their achievement.
