Meet Coach Sammi

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! My name is Coach Sammi (Samantha Stewart), and I will be your student’s Adapted PE (APE)/PE teacher this school year. I've got a lot of great things planned for this school year! Woohoo!  I’m excited to see returning faces and some new faces. 

As an APE itinerant teacher,  I am assigned to teach at Newbury Park High School, Banyan Elementary, Conejo Elementary, and Sycamore Canyon Elementary & Middle Schools . This will be my sixth year here at Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) as an APE Teacher, and 16th year as an educator. I have taught for the Ventura USD, Santa Barbara USD, and Simi Valley USD before coming to Conejo Valley USD. Previously, I taught in Arizona before moving here due to my husband’s military orders. I truly enjoy teaching for CVUSD!

A little about myself: I hold credentials in PE, Health, and APE along with a Master’s in Public Policy and Administration. But, my biggest source of knowledge and experience is from my children. I have a son, Gavynn who is 23-years old with an Intellectual Disability, Autism and ADHD, who enjoys playing Unified golf (I'm his golf partner ⛳ 😜), bowling 🎳, and basketball🏀 for Special Olympics 🥇and two daughters, Kyra who is 17 who attends NP and plays water polo 🤽‍♀️ and is on the swim team 🏊‍♀️ and is a SENIOR, and Natalie who is 12 who attends Sequoia and loves animals 🐴🦜🐱🐶🦎 and running 🏃‍♀️ short quick distances. Both of my daughters are in Girl Scouts🍀 and I am their crazy leader. If you need Girl Scout cookies 🍪 come to me. 😁😜These three keep me on my toes. Our family is invested in Special Olympics, Girl Scouts, and sports. We are always moving and volunteering. We advocate at home, in the community, and at school.  We love getting out there and playing...whether it's golfing, attempting to mountain bike, SUP, swim, dance, etc. Whatever gets us moving and exploring, we're happy! 

This year we will continue with Unified Sports during lunch on Wednesdays. More information will be provide soon.   If you have any questions and/or comments please email me at sstewart@conejousd.org . Follow me on Instagram @coach_sammi_ape or Face Book @adaptedPECoachSammi.
