Hello!  My name is Laura Ray and I am a Title tutor at Washington Elementary.  I work on Reading skills with grades K-3. I graduated from The University of Akron with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. This is my eighth year as a Title tutor at Washington and my 20th year working in the Marlington district. I live in Washington Township, and both of my sons are Marlington graduates, so I've been a part of the Washington Elementary family for a long time!  

My oldest son Jacob is the Youth and Education Manager at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and my youngest son Mitchell teaches 6th grade Social Studies at Southeast Middle School. My husband recently retired from the State of Ohio Emergency Management Agency, and is now an independent consultant for FEMA. We have an Australian Shepherd/Elkhound mix dog named Gibbs. I enjoy spending time with my family and my dog, and love vacationing at the beach!

I am looking forward to working with your child. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] or call the Washington Elementary office at 330-823-7586 and leave me a message.  You can also contact me through Class Dojo (I have a separate account that is different from the teacher account).

Together we will make it a great school year for your child!
