Hello, my name is Margaret (Maggie) Paz. I began teaching at Akers in 2019, and am currently teaching 4th grade there. I started teaching in 2013, I have taught grades 1-4. As a teacher, I pride myself on building important relationships with students, catering to their various learning needs, and providing a fun and safe learning community in my classroom.

I married my husband, John in 2021.  We have three amazing sons: Lincoln (13), Rowen (3), and Atlas (1).  We live in Lemoore with our black lab, Nova.  In our free time we like to watch movies, play games like Splendor, Ticket to Ride, and PokemonGo, attend events for the local volunteer fire dept (LVFD), and participate in sports (soccer).

Contact me... I respond quickest through our school's ParentSquare App, and am usually available to respond within an hour. The best hours to reach me are between 2-4pm, as my evenings are often busy with two young children. *Page edited in 2026.
