About Ms. Marchese

Welcome to Gold Rush!

           My name is Jamie Marchese, and I will be your child’s ELL teacher. I am honored to be a part of your child's life.  I know many of your already, and look forward to working with all of you this coming year.

If you are new to Gold Rush Elementary, you will soon find out that it is a great place to be.  I consider myself lucky to have taught kindergarten at GRE since we opened six years ago.  Last year, I expanded my role at Gold Rush to include working with English Language Learners.  It has been a great adventure that I look forward to continuing.

Over the years I have taught in Virginia, Texas, and Colorado in a variety of grade levels from Pre-K to 4^th grade. This year will be my 14^th year teaching. I am originally from Virginia where I graduated from Radford University with a degree in Elementary and Middle Education. After college I lived in Bolivia where I learned Spanish and gained a love for other cultures and languages. I continued my education along the way with courses in English, Spanish, reading, writing, and literature…which eventually led me to pursue a Masters Degree in Literacy and endorsements in English Language Learning. In case you haven’t guessed—I love anything to do with language and literacy!

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family.   Parker has been our home for over 16 years now and I love raising my boys here.  I have two sons, Caden and Quinn, who keep me running.  Cade is a sophomore at CU Boulder and Quinn is a junior at Legend High School. We love music, movies, traveling, eating out, and just hanging at home together or with friends.

I look forward to working with you and your child in the upcoming school year!  If you have questions, please feel free to email me at: jamie.marchese@dcsdk12.org.
