Alyssa Botros, CCR Teacher

I am so excited to continue my educational career with the bulldog family for the 2024-2025 school year! I am in native of New York City and moved to Raleigh in the summer of 2014. I have taught with the Wake County School System for the past 10 years as a resource room special education teacher. I absolutely love working with this population of students and helping them succeed to be the best version of themselves! My greatest joy is being a mom to my wonderful boys, Hartwell (6) and Hudson(4). Hartwell will also be a bulldog in first grade this year! In our spare time, we love going for walks with our dog (Bella), swimming, and visiting family up north. I look forward to collaborating with families and supporting students’ educational and social growth this school year.

Katherine Harley, CCR Teacher

Hello Bulldogs!  I am a North Carolina native, born and raised in Gray’s Creek, a small town south of Fayetteville.  I moved to Raleigh for college and never left!  I graduated from NC State with a BS degree in Animal Science.  I managed a research lab for 15 years, then decided to change careers after becoming a mom.  I got experience as a preschool teacher and a CCR Instructional Assistant, before jumping into the CCR teaching position last year.  When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, crafting, and watching NCSU sports = Go Pack! 

I believe we are all a team to help not only the students grow, but also help our families glean knowledge from what we do with their children. Education is better served in partnership.  I am looking forward to joining the Bulldog family!

Paeton Crudup-Barfield, ECS 1+2 Instructional Assistant (floater)

This is my third year with the district and my seventh year working with individuals with special needs in both school and community settings. I'm passionate about helping students build confidence and independence. I believe that teaching everyday life skills is just as important as academic instruction.
 
Outside of school, I'm a busy wife and mother of four--three sons(13,11,8) and one daughter(14). Much of my free time is spent cheering on my kids at their sporting events and supporting my husband as we coach in our local rec league. I also enjoy growing my small business and staying active in the community. I'm grateful for the opportunity to support our amazing students and contribute to their growth each day.
