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, 1st grade(gen ed and sped), 2nd 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!
