Hi! My name is Rachel Handel and I am so excited to be your child's first grade teacher this year! 

This will be my 3rd year at Sayen, but my 5th year in education. I have a Masters Degree in teaching from Rider University. I also have a Bachelors Degree from The University of Connecticut in Human Development and Family Studies. Some things I enjoy outside of school are reading, shopping and going to the beach! 

I am always available for any questions or concerns you may have. Please feel free to email me at rhandel@htsdnj.org at anytime or contact me through Class Dojo or Seesaw. Looking forward to a great year together!
