About Us

This is Mr. Leavitt's first year as Resnik's Media Specialist! Previously, he was a classroom teacher, teaching 2nd graders and kindergarteners. He comes from a family of teachers, with no fewer than 8 family members having a history teaching in Montgomery County Public Schools. He enjoys reading books of all kinds, studying movies, playing video games, and relaxing at home with his wife and two kittens. He is very excited to be a part of the Resnik community!

Ms. Swindell is excited to join Judith Resnik Elementary School as the new media assistant. Her love of books & technology stems from spending her childhood summers in the library with her family. When she is not in eagle territory, she likes to spend her time going out with her husband and children. She enjoys reading, baking, and singing in her spare time. She looks forward to meeting, learning & growing with all the staff and students.   

Mrs. Simmons serves as the ITSS for Resnik (in addition to Candlewood, Cashell, and Greenwood Elementary Schools).  She provides technology support, including operational and maintenance services, information, and assistance focused on staff and student productivity.
