Hi! Welcome to Room 205! I am Nancy Johnson, and I will be your child's second grade teacher this year. I would like to thank you in advance for sharing your child with me. Since I expect that you are interested in the person to whom your child will be entrusted for this school year, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little about me.

I grew up in University Place and am an alumnus of University Place Elementary School, Curtis Junior High, and Curtis High School. I graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a B. A. in Education. This is my 25th year as a teacher, having taught grades 3-12 as a Homebound Teacher for children with medical problems, Pre-school, Kindergarten, 6th grade, 7th grade, and 2nd grade for 16 years now. My husband, Jerry, and I have two grown daughters, Julie and Erin, and a grandson, Jessiah. We reside in University Place and enjoy the community and school activities.

As your child's teacher, I will be dedicated to helping your child reach his/her potential. I believe all children can learn and all children can succeed! I will do everything in my power to make sure your child has a successful, positive year in my classroom. I will expect the best from your child, behaviorally and academically, because we can only attain our potential when we do our best!
Our partnership is essential to your child's success. If they know we talk, they will know we care. I have already tried to call each of you before school started in order to introduce myself. If I missed you, I am sorry. I hope we can maintain open lines of communication as you are the most important person(s) in your child's life, and your support is vital to your child's success in school!
I look forward to working with you and your child! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever have any questions or concerns. You can reach me at 566-5620 ext. 205.
