I have been teaching in Lakeside for over thirty years and I am thrilled to be at Lakeside Farms.  What a wonderful school! 
I am happily married to a Lakeside Firefighter I met during a 911 call at school!  We have two daughters. 
I am also very involved with P.E.O., a philanthropic education organization. If you know any college bound girls who would like to attend an affordable, private, women's college for her first two years of her four year college career please come see me!!  Cottey College is an amazing school in Missouri. 

I have been teaching here at the Farms for over 20 plus years!  I am a graduate of San Diego State University. (Go Aztecs!) I earned my Masters  and reading specialization from National University.
I have two children (18 and 22) who also attended Lakeside Farms.  It has always been a pleasure to be a mom and a teacher at such a wonderful school.
In my spare time I like to read, walk and enjoy my family.  In addition, I have two spoiled dogs.

Hi there Lakeside Farm Families! I am so thrilled to be working with our students for another, although interesting, year! I started at the Farms in February 2020 and then was interrupted by COVID-19. What a whirlwind year of teaching! I am from East County, born and raised. I received my BA in Liberal Studies from SDSU in 2017. The next day after my SDSU graduation, I began my graduate program at Point Loma Nazarene University. I graduated with both my Mild/Mod. Special Education credential and a Multiple Subject credential. I also earned my Master’s degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Autism and Emotional Disturbances. In my spare time, I am a movie buff and love spending time with my family (including my 10-year-old “chonky” Corgi mix!)

I'm so excited to be teaching second grade at Lakeside Farms!

I'm Brandy Delyser. I am so excited to start another year! We have a wonderful school with great staff, students, and parents. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

I am thrilled to be teaching at Lakeside Farms! 

Our classroom was originally constructed in 1961 as Fallout Shelter that was big enough to shelter the entire community of Lakeside.  The shelter was equipped with a water purifier, generator, and provisions.  As the world changed, our shelter was remodeled and turned into classrooms.  Today, we have modern amenities and a true community of 5th graders that enjoy the uniqueness of their sub-terranian classroom!

Welcome!

This will be my 25th year teaching for Lakeside Union School District. I have taught third, fourth, and fifth grade and third grade is my favorite!  In third grade we learn so many new things; multiplication, cursive, writing multiple paragraph essays, learning about California's history, our science topics include learning about animals, bridges, and weather.  

In my free time and during school holidays, I love to spend time traveling.  I've been to Italy, France, England, Ireland, and over thirty states!  When on breaks from school, I love to read books; detective mysteries are my current favorites, photography and art are also hobbies I dabble in and when I have time, I also try to squeeze in creating scrapbooks of my trips.  

Hello! My name is Rosemary Gonzalez and I am the School Counselor at Lakeside Farms. I completed all of my education in San Diego where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Education Counseling with a Pupil Personnel Services credential. This is my first year in the Lakeside Union School District and I am happy to serve this community. I have enjoyed getting to know our families in the community, as well as, work with a fantastic staff. Previously, I was a School Counselor in the Chula Vista Elementary School District and worked in that district in different capacities for many years. As a School Counselor, I place a large emphasis on providing trauma informed support in schools, social emotional learning initiatives, improving school climate, and supporting the mental health of our students, staff, and community. My goal is to continue to create and improve upon the positive experiences of all of our students at Lakeside Farms.

One could say I am a native of Lakeside.  After attending the LUSD school system and graduating from El Capitan, I ventured to UCSB.  Eventually, I found my way back down to San Diego and Graduated from UCSD  and continued on with their teacher education program. 
I was fortunate enough to get my first teaching job at Tierra del Sol Middle School working as a Special Education teacher.  While at TdS, I completed my Masters of Education in Special Education at SDSU. Since then, I have taught a variety of grade levels and became a Nationally Board Certified Teacher. 
I have been blessed with 2 daughters and a wonderful husband.  My family enjoys spending time together volunteering, camping and traveling.
Be it a friend from my youth, a former student, or someone new, please come by and say hello!

Looking forward to a fantastic year!

Hello, my name is Terri Segel and I have been teaching in Lakeside for 30 years.  This is my tenth year at Lakeside Farms.  I  enjoy teaching third grade.
