Welcome to our Special Day Classes/Special Education Programs

My name is Amy Hartz and I am the Instructional Support Teacher who runs the Learning Center at Springhill. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in psychology and human development. I've worked in the district for 10 years. I started as a Special Services Assistant in Early Intervention program at Burton Valley. I found my passion for students so I quickly enrolled at Saint Mary's to get my Mild-Moderate teaching credential. Helping students achiebe their goals energizes me every single day. If I'm not in the classroom, you can find me fostering dogs, kayaking on the Russian River or hiking in the East Bay hills.
Staff PhotoHello!  I’m Meagan Fitzgerald and I am an Instructional Support Teacher working in the Learning Center. I am thrilled to be teaching at Springhill this year! I have taught both general education and special education for many years in San Francisco. I am now happy to call Martinez home and grateful to have found a school community here at Springhill. In my free time I love to hike with my family & dog, travel and work on my gardening and cooking skills (there is still much room for improvement!) 
Hello Springhill! I'm Mrs. JoStaff Photohnston, the Room 1 teacher-Special Day Class for TK-5th grade students. We always enjoy making new friends in Room 1, so say "Hi" when you see us outside our classroom on the bench.
Staff PhotoI am the Special Education Teacher for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade SDC. I have a B.A. in English from Cal State East Bay and am pursuing my Masters in Education at Saint Mary’s College. I enjoy watching San Francisco Giants and Golden State Warriors Games. When I get the chance, I love to surf and my favorite surf spot in Northern California is Bolinas.
 
 
Staff PhotoHi, my name is Rachel Strelau and I am thrilled to be the Room 3 SDC teacher this year. As a former Springhill ‘grad’ myself-it feels like coming home. I have over 15 years teaching experience, 3 teaching credentials, and my Masters in Special Education. I am passionate about helping all my students achieve their highest potential. When not teaching I enjoy spending time with my son, traveling, and reading. I am looking forward to an amazing year!
