Teacher + Parent + Student= SUCCESS
Dear Parents,
My name is Mrs. Jamey Katen and I will be your child’s fourth grade ELA teacher. I received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a Masters of Arts in Education with a concentration in literacy from Ball State University. This year is my sixteenth year of teaching and my sixth year working at Highcroft Drive Elementary. I previously taught fourth grade in Illinois, second grade in Ohio, and fourth grade and third grade at Oak Grove Elementary in Durham.
My husband, Kevin, and I moved to North Carolina during the summer of 2007. We are both originally from the Midwest. My hometown is Crown Point, Indiana. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, shopping, movies, music, games, and traveling. We love to watch Ohio State football during the fall as we lived in Columbus, Ohio for a few years. We have two sons, Rylan and Reid.
It is indeed a pleasure to have your child in my class. I believe parents, students, and teachers need to work together to ensure a successful school year. Together we can make a difference for your child this school year. Please feel free to contact me through email at [email protected].
I look forward to building a relationship with your child and your family this school year. Welcome back for the 2017-2018 school year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jamey Katen
