Hello! My name is Mrs. Shaneka Lopez. I am excited to be your child's teacher this year! This will be my 3rd year at Richland. I have worked for the District for more than 20 years, mainly in 2nd Grade. I studied at the University of Memphis and received a Bachelor's and a Master's Degree. I love teaching because it allows me to learn, as well. I encourage my students try to learn something everyday. There is always something new to learn!

I am married to my high school sweetheart and we were grateful to have raised 3 grown boys.

I have always wanted to be a teacher even since I was a little girl. I seek out new opportunities to improve my craft. I encourage you to openly discuss their concerns and questions about the path of your child's learning. We are a team and we need each other to help the children learn. 

I am so blessed and happy to be your child's teacher!
