Mrs. Eriny
PRINCIPAL - 2nd & 3rd GRADE
My name is Mrs. Eriny Assad, and I have a multiple subject teaching credential from CSUN. I have been teaching at St. Mary School since it first started in 2011. I believe in always being very caring and nurturing to my students, because with kindness and patience, all students can become better learners. I believe that using positive reinforcement helps students come to enjoy going to school. I am a mother of two and like traveling and spending time with my family. I truly enjoy being around children and believe that fairness and respect is a basic right at any age.
