Hi! I’m Mrs. Rodzen

Teaching is an absolute passion of mine! I am excited to work with your children this upcoming school year. I know that we will tackle any challenges together as a team; the key is to stay positive!

I am married to my husband, Chris. We have a daughter, Chloe, and a son, John. Some hobbies that I enjoy are cooking, reading, and exercising. I ride my Peloton frequently. If you're a rider, I would love to see you on the leaderboard (Yvonne_Rodzen)! Other interests include traveling to new destinations, trips to the Jersey shore, attending comedy shows/sporting events, catching up with family and friends, and cheering on my children from the sidelines.

I graduated from Montclair State University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in English, minor in History, and a Teacher of English Certification. Additionally, I have earned my masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Adolescent Literacy from Concordia University - Portland. 

This will be my 15th year teaching. Throughout my career, I have taught at the 7th and 8th grade levels. I absolutely love teaching 7th grade! It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students. I attempt to teach with a passion for my subject so that my students develop a desire to become lifelong learners.  I look forward to meeting everyone and a great year together!
