Hello and Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!

My name is Mrs. Garner-Jones and I am a First Grade teacher here at School 16. I have been teaching at School 16 for 23 years. I have taught Kindergarten for 2 years and First Grade for 21 years. I have taught second, third, fourth and fifth grade for both Summer School and Extended Learning Time!

I have 3 children. My daughter is almost 11 years old and will be starting 6th grade in Middle School in September. I also have a 5 year old son, who will be starting 1st grade in the fall and my other son, who is almost 4 years old, will be starting Universal Pre-K!

First grade is a wonderful grade where my students have an opportunity to grow as active learners. I am very excited to help your child explore and learn this school year! 😄
