I am in my fifteenth and final year at Conyer as you can tell by the
retirement ticker at the top of the page. I am married to Carol and we have
a daughter, Janine, who lives in Santa Barbara. Also, Carol and I enjoy
visiting San Francisco once or twice a year because we usually discover
something new each time we visit.
In my class the "D" word is not allowed. Of course, that word is Dodgers
and sometimes Diamondbacks since I am a SF GIANTS fan (49ers,too). Don't
worry, that "Other D-Word" is not allowed either.
My favorite musical performer is Elvis but I do enjoy to Country. When it
comes to cartoon characters, you can't beat Garfield. Just look at my Home
page on this site. However, I also read Baby Blues, Luann, and Zits just to
keep up to date. TV programs I enjoy include CSI, 24, The Amazing Race,
Cold Case, American Idol, HGTV, and The Food Network.
Except for my stint in the Air Force, where I spent time in Texas and
Colorado, I have lived my entire life in California. My BA is in Social
Service from San Jose State University. I hold an MA in Christian Education
from the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in Fresno. My Multiple
Subject Teaching Credential is from Chapman University. And, I am an
ordained American Baptist minister.
Finally, as I prepare for the next chapter in my life--retirement--I am now
a driving instructor for the Corliss Driving School. That's right, each day
after school and twice a day during the summer months, I teach students who
want to earn their driver's license how to drive. It's fantastic! I'm even
looking forward to working with some of my former classroom students as they
reach that magic age.
If you would like any additional information please e-mail me at
rgreenfield@visalia.k12.ca.us.
I believe that teachers have a right to teach and students have a right to
learn. In my class, each student is expected to try and do their best,
follow directions the first time they are given, do only what I ask them to
do, and make responsible choices by observing all classroom basics and the
Conyer Code of Conduct.
CODE OF CONDUCT -or- "How to Get Caught Being Good"
1. Be respectful
2. Care about others
3. Be prepared
4. Be a contributor
Students will be sent to Mrs. Leon for:
- Physically harming or threatening someone.
- Verbally abusing or mocking someone.
- Inappropriate language.
- Damaging or stealing property.
- Refusing to follow any teacher's or aide's directions.
