About Mrs. Cleaveland

My name is Lauren Cleaveland and I am very excited about having your precious children in my class this year!  I am a native Dallasite and a graduate of Southern Methodist University.  I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a Kindergarten endorsement as well as ESL certification.  I taught for 12 years in Highland Park and 6 years in DISD.  This marks my 7th year at St. Monica.  This is a milestone year for me as I approach my 25th year of teaching.

I have six children; five are in college, and our youngest is in his Junior year at Jesuit.  My husband is a resort home builder in Vail, Colorado.  We do lots of traveling back and forth during the year.

I know this will be a great year with lots of growth and learning.  I look forward to being a part of your child's life and getting to know each family in my class.  Children grow up so fast and this is a magical time in your child's development.  One not to rush, but one to cherish and watch in amazement!

St. Monica is a wonderful place to grow and learn.  We're going to have a terrific year!
