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

(Mrs. M&M to her wonderful students) is our media assistant. When she is not at school, she loves spending time with her family, including her dog, Riley. She enjoys baking, reading, crafting, and history. She looks forward to working with the fabulous students and staff at Resnik Elementary! 

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.
