Let me introduce myself.  My name is Jamie Staats and this will be my 2nd year teaching 1st grade at Bolin.  This will marks my 16th year in education.   I have taught pre-k, Kindergarten, 1^st grade(gen ed and sped), 2^nd grade(sped and gen ed) and PPCD.  I have a very strong background in both gen ed and special education.  All throughout college I was a speech and occupational therapy tech and my family currently owns Reeves Rehab in San Angelo, Texas.  I am triple certified with General Education, ESL and Special Education certifications.  My mother would say I was born to be a teacher and I would have to agree!

I am originally from a VERY small town outside of San Angelo, Texas called Christoval. After high school I went on to play basketball at Sul Ross State University and then later graduated from Angelo State University in 2005.  I have taught in Killeen ISD, Plano ISD, Dallas ISD, Lovejoy ISD but I feel like I have found my forever home in Allen ISD. 

My husband and I have a 2 year old named Austin.  He is the light of our life.  We have been very blessed because he is usually happy and smiling all the time.  I can't wait for yall to meet him!  In my free time I love to hang out with my family and friends.  We like to play all kinds of games and hang out in the pool.  My husband and I also love to go out to eat and take trips when we can find the time.  I am so happy to be a Bolin Blazer and get to know all of you!
