In the words of others: “She has done an outstanding job working with our diverse population of students from many different countries and school experiences. She works not only with the students in our school, but also with parents as she understands the importance of these relationships. Mrs. Carvajal is bilingual and can talk to parents who may not be English speakers and help them be comfortable with our school.” Spring Woods Middle Principal Karen Liska
“She challenges her students in a way they feel is more comfortable. Not once has she ever let a student feel like they couldn’t do something. Encouraging is a word that really describes her in many ways.”
“Her expectations for her students are hard but helpful. As her student, she is my role model. I look up to her in so many ways. She’s talented, has an amazing sense of humor, very intelligent and is an incredible teacher. We are all so proud of her hard work that she has been doing this year and that she will continue to do!” Daisy Ortega, Spring Woods Middle 8th Grade Student
