WELCOME TO THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR!

I am the Jefferson Elementary 3rd grade teacher. I believe all children can learn, but the way they learn can depend on a lot of factors. I believe in teamwork- with parents, students, and colleagues to help children achieve their potential. I believe in high expectations- for myself, for my students. I believe that Jefferson students are the most amazing kids and I love working with all of children!

In our classroom, we use the school-wide behavior management system (Positive Behavior Intervention System) where students are encouraged to SOAR throughout the day. SOAR stands for SAFETY for yourself and others; OWNERSHIP of your own choices; scholars ACHIEVING their goals and success, and being RESPONSIBLE by doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

I am excited about this school year and teaching our 3rd Grade Scholars.  Let's get it EAGLES!
