A Message from the Administration
Mr. Derasmo
Principal
Dear Roger Bryan Families,
My name is Laurence Derasmo and I am proud to be the Principal at Roger Bryan Elementary School! Prior to being appointed as the Principal at Roger Bryan, I served as the Assistant Principal at Walter Jacobson Elementary School for three years. I also spent nine years in the classroom as a teacher working with children from a variety of different backgrounds with a focus on academic achievement and growth. I was born in the Hudson Valley area of New York and ended up moving to Toronto, Canada at the age of ten. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Studies from York University in 2005. After graduation, I moved to Buffalo, New York, and attended Canisius College, and earned my Master’s degree in Childhood Education. I was recruited by the Clark County School District after graduation and moved to Las Vegas in 2007 as a classroom teacher. Having a passion for learning and positively impacting students on a larger scale, I pursued a second Master’s degree in School-Building Administration from Touro University in Henderson, Nevada in 2014.
I am a huge Disney fan and you will often find me in the Disney parks when I am on vacation. I also collect rare Disney pins, memorabilia, and art pieces. I love following my hometown sports teams! Go Raptors! Go Golden Knights! Family is a big part of my life and I treasure being home with them to enjoy all the special moments. I am a huge dog lover and have one fur baby (Storm) that I spoil daily and love spending time with.
As Principal at Bryan, I look forward to working with all of you. I will strive to be an inspiring leader that works side-by-side with our teachers, staff, and parents to positively impact our students and develop them into life-long learners. My goal is to provide a safe, caring learning environment where student safety and student achievement are our number one priorities.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns by calling the school number below.
Educationally,
Mr. D :)

I am so grateful to be the Assistant Principal of Roger Bryan Elementary School. I am truly honored to be able to serve the Bryan students, families, staff, and community. I look forward to assisting Mr. Derasmo, as well as the rest of the staff, in unlocking each child’s full potential and preparing them to be successful citizens in our diverse world.
I am originally from southern California and moved to Las Vegas after completing my Bachelor’s Degree and teaching credentials at California State University, Northridge. After I moved to Las Vegas, I earned my Master’s Degree in School Administration from Touro University. I have taught third and fourth grade, have been a coach and Read by Grade Three strategist, and most recently was the assistant principal at Robert Lake Elementary for just over two years. Along with education, my passions are soccer, dogs, traveling, reading, and spending time with my friends and family. I am a competitive athlete and outdoor enthusiast by nature, so most of my free time is spent exploring new places and attending as many athletic events as possible!
It is my belief that my role as a leader is to put students at the forefront of all decisions and inspire all those around me to be the best version of themselves. My motto is “TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More”. I am eager to meet each and every one of you and learn more about how you make a difference in the lives of your students. I cannot wait to work alongside the Bryan team to continue to hold high expectations and make this educational journey the best possible for all children. Please know that my door is always open, and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at any time.
Yours in education,

I am originally from southern California and moved to Las Vegas to be closer to family. My husband and I have three children and several four-legged friends. In our spare time, we enjoy spending time with family and friends, taking road trips, hiking, kayaking, visiting the beach, and exploring National Parks. I attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas where I earned both a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education as well as a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in math. In 2019, I decided to go back to school to earn a second Master’s Degree from Sierra Nevada University in the area of Educational Administration. I consider myself a lifelong learner and am committed to continual growth, both personally and professionally.
As an educational leader, I believe all children are unique and can excel both academically and socially when provided with high expectations, the appropriate support, and a team of caring adults whom they can trust. As Roger Bryan’s Student Success Coordinator, I am committed to working collaboratively with our staff and school community to provide resources, training, and support that will help empower our students to strive for their personal best. I look forward to working with the Roger Bryan Community to strengthen the academic and social achievement of our students.
