Hello!  I’m Sandi Jones.  I’m so pleased to be returning to the TCS faculty this year as a 4th-grade grade teacher.  I have 35 years of teaching experience including 28 years in public school and 6 years in a private Christian school. Each of these 35 years has been spent teaching 5th and 6th grade.   I earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Moorhead State University in 1987 and graduated cum laude.  I grew up in Fargo, North Dakota and moved to the sunny Dallas/Fort Worth area in 1988.  

I now reside in Kennedale with my husband, Jeff Jones.   We don’t have children, but we have quite the menagerie of spoiled pets including 3  Bichon Frise dogs named Lexi, Dolly, and CoCo plus an umbrella cockatoo named Taylor.  My mother, Pat, lives with us, and she has a Maltipoo named Sasha.  

My faith is an important constant in my life.  My relationship with Jesus is my compass in life providing direction, comfort and peace.  I believe it is my responsibility as a teacher to guide my students’ spiritual, emotional, and academic growth.  

I am a motivated professional who enjoys helping students build confidence and academic success.  My philosophy is that all students can stretch and grow their intelligence through good reading and study habits.  I am knowledgeable and skilled in teaching intermediate level students, and I’ve had a long history of success with this age group.  I seek to nurture, engage, and motivate children to succeed.  I am a calm, patient person who has a high degree of integrity, and high standards for myself and my students.  My goal is to make learning an enjoyable, rewarding experience. I look forward to an awesome year!
