Hi! I am Ms. O'Reilly-Santoki. I am an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher at Solomon Elementary School. I grew up on Oahu and went to Elementary School in Ewa Beach and Mililani. I graduated from Mililani High School and attended College at the University of Hawaii. I have been teaching in the Early Childhood Classroom Setting at Solomon Elementary School for 21 years.   I got my first teaching job at Solomon Elementary School in 2002 and never left.  While I am certified to teach both General and Special Education, I enjoy working with students with special needs the most. Sometimes working with children who have special needs can be challenging but watching them grow and being part of that growth makes it all worth while.
When I am not in the classroom, I spend my time taking care of my grandmother who will be 91 this year. I also enjoy reading crime and science fiction novels, watching Marvel movies, and relaxing with my pet bunny named Cotton.  I love working with children. Every job I have had growing up has involved children in some way-babysitting, teaching Sunday School, being a leader for A+Program, and volunteering during the summer as a tutor for children with special needs. All of the students I have had are all special and unique individuals who have taught me many lessons throughout the years.  Mrs. Dolores Batalona is the Educational Assistant who will be assisting me in the classroom this year. 

If you have any questions please feel free to email me or call me at 808-305-1800.
