Meet Mrs. King
Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Jenny King and I am looking forward to a fantastic year together. I am beginning my 23rd year as a teacher and my 13th year at Bridge Point. Prior to joining the Bridge Point family I spent ten years teaching first grade in Hays, Austin and Bastrop. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and obtained my teaching certificate with reading specialization from the University of Texas at Austin. My husband Terry and I have been married for 23 years and have two children - Jake (18) and Sophie "Bones" (15). Jake is a senior (EEK!) at Griffin School and Sophie is a sophomore at Westlake. We also have a couple of four-legged children: a naughty, muttley Lhasa Apso-ish rescue named Chance (think “Animal” from Sesame Street) and Gecky the gecko. In addition to being a teacher and a mom, I enjoy reading, movies, mountain biking, trail running and watching my girl play soccer.
As a parent myself, I understand the apprehension as well as the mixed emotions you may be feeling as your child enters kindergarten, and especially the new Spanish Immersion program. Be assured that I will do my best to make this school year an enjoyable one for your child, while meeting his or her individual needs in a nurturing, yet challenging environment. The skills we practice daily in kindergarten are the building blocks for your child’s future success in school and in life!
I look forward to working with you to inspire a lifelong love of learning in your precious child. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime at 732-9200 or e-mail me at [email protected].
