Hello! Welcome to Kindergarten! I am Ms. Jones. I am excited to help your child learn and grow this year!

Here is a little bit about me. This is my 7th year teaching Kindergarten here at Spencer Elementary School. I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana in 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I went to high school here at Owen Valley and I love teaching in the community where I grew up! Currently, I live in Spencer with my dog, Teddy. Some things I enjoy are: reading good books, hiking at new parks, finding new restaurants, swimming in the summer, shopping in Nashville, and traveling to warm destinations.

In the event of an E-Learning Day where students bring home Chromebooks, they will be expected to login and check our Team Seuss (Google Classroom) page for work. If you have any questions, you may contact me via Parent Square or email.
