Hello Families! 

My name is Mrs. Esparza and I have been teaching for 10 years. This is my second year at Foothill Knolls and I am so excited to be here. I feel so lucky to work with each and every one of you!

I received my Bachelor's Degree and credential from Vanguard University.  

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, drinking coffee, doing pilates, and swimming. My husband and I have a beautiful daughter. Our family loves swimming, reading, and cooking together.

I am so excited to be your first-grade teacher and look forward to working with you this year!

Hello Families! 

My name is Mrs.Timpano-Ripani and I have been teaching first grade for eleven years. This is my sixth year at Foothill Knolls and I love our TK-8 school. I enjoy getting to know my students and their families because we are a community here. 

I received my Bachelor of Science in Child and Adolescent Studies from California State University, Fullerton and I received my Masters in Education from California State Polytechnic University. 

In my spare time, I enjoy running, gardening, and spending time with my family. My husband and I have two amazing kids (5 and 10 years old). Together we enjoy watching movies, swimming, and relaxing at home together.

Thank you for your support throughout the year. Together we are a team for your child's success. 

I look forward to a wonderful year in first grade!
