Jennifer Lapp: Hi! I’m Jenny Lapp, and I’ve been with Rock View for 8 years as a special education teacher. This year, I’m thrilled to be working with Kindergarten and first grade! I have three children of my own, and I absolutely love the back-to-school season—there’s nothing like fresh school supplies, fall treats, and a good cup of coffee. I’m proud to be a Rock View Roadrunner and can’t wait for the new school year!

Katie Mahar (LC Intervention): I am a part-time special education teacher who provides intervention and support to our amazing students in the Learning Center. I have worked at Rock View ES for 11 years! I love helping children learn to read. On my free time, I devour fiction books and enjoy spending time with my family and our puppy outside.

Raelee Mangiacapra (Team Lead): Hi My name is Raelee Mangiacapra. This is my 8th year at Rock View and 10 years in the county as a Special Education Teacher. I have worked in the School Community Based, Learning Center and Home School Model special education programs. My goal is to make all students feel their best and grow their confidence while also making school and fun and friendly environment to work in. I am from Long Island, New York, I have a wonderful family including a daughter and a pup.
