Jeri Kalvin named
Capri Classified Employee of the Year

Jeri Kalvin, Capri's Classified Employee of the Year, is highly deserving of the award and will be an excellent representative for Capri. Jeri graduated from Palomar Community College with an A.A. Degree in Illustration. She has also completed some coursework in the Liberal Studies program at California State University, San Marcos. Jeri has worked a total of sixteen years at Capri and   Park Dale Lane as an Instructional Assistant focusing on computers. She has also worked as a special education instructional assistant in special day classes and as a noon supervisor.

Jeri helps out whenever there is a need for a substitute instructional assistant. In addition to supporting technology, Jeri works with Capri's GATE students and has been Capri's staff sponsor of the Cougar Citizen, Capri's student newspaper, since 1989. Before working in the District, Jeri was a free-lance illustrator designing t-shirt designs for colleges and restaurants. She was also involved in the city of San Diego's Gas Lamp Renovation project. 

Jeri has served the Capri School community well while working as an Instructional Assistant in the area of computer technology. In Jeri's current position, she has gained the admiration and respect from students, staff, and parents for her remarkable patience and because of her ability to work with a full range of student abilities. She is attentive to student and staff needs and "goes beyond the call of duty" to help solve network, software and hardware problems. She enjoys the challenges of her job as well as working with the students on a daily basis and finds satisfaction with her work when the students finally   "get it." Jeri is also proud of the time several years ago when she taught Capri teachers how to use computers for the first time. 

Jeri is a team player and a very dependable worker who gives her all to the position of Instructional Assistant. Capri students, parents, and staff will testify that Jeri is a tremendous asset to the school's staff, students, and community. Even in the midst of a chaotic day, Jeri always remains pleasant and even-tempered. 

Thanks to Jeri for her dedication to provide service to the Capri School Community. Congratulations Jeri Kalvin.
