Here's some information about Mrs. Jackson.

My family:

• My husband's name is Steve Jackson and he is afraid of 6th graders. So if he ever comes into the classroom, which he never will, make sure and scare him!
• My son is 14 and in 9th grade at AACT.
• My daughter is 16 and just graduated from the GATE Institute at Hug HS.  She is attending UNR this year. 

My background:

This is my 27th year of teaching. I have taught 1st grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade. I am teaching Social Studies and ELA. I taught in an elementary school setting for 22 years and am now in middle school. I decided to teach many years ago because I love to learn and I get excited to help mold and challenge young minds.

I was born and raised in Reno and have lived there all my life until I moved to Sparks 7 years ago. I love this area and am proud to be a native Renoite. However, I do love to travel to explore the history of our country and world. Some of my favorite things to do are reading, camping, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. Summer is by far my favorite season!
