Team TUSD

Ms. Marnie Robles has been teaching in TUSD for 31 years and has spent the past 13 years at Cavett Elementary School. She provides Tier 2 and 3 reading and writing interventions for first graders who need extra support and offers literacy support for kindergarten, first, and second grade students.

Born and raised in Tucson, Ms. Robles is a fifth-generation Arizonan and has deep roots in the community. She loves Cavett for its small, neighborhood-school atmosphere, nurturing environment, and strong focus on relationships with students and families. Families often stay at Cavett because of the sense of community and the safe, supportive space it provides for children to learn.

Outside of work, Ms. Robles enjoys spending time with her family. She comes from a wrestling family, and her three children are involved in wrestling at the college and high school levels. Her life outside school is full of family activities and staying connected to her children’s passions.

Fun fact: Ms. Robles’s family helped found Amado, Arizona, making her a proud fifth-generation Arizonan with deep local history.

Ms. Cece is the School Community Liaison at Cavett Elementary School, where she connects with families, engages the community, and helps students and parents access the resources they need. She organizes community events, builds strong relationships with families, and ensures that everyone feels welcomed and supported at the school.

Born and raised in Tucson, Ms. Cece has been with TUSD since the 1990s, starting her career at Pueblo High School. She values Cavett for its small size, personal attention, and the way staff know each student by name, creating a friendly and supportive environment for families and students.

Outside of work, Ms. Cece enjoys hiking, spending time with her three grown children, and caring for her three dogs. She loves being outdoors and cherishes time at home with her family.
