Hi! I'm so excited about being one of your teachers this year. I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology. I am K-6 and Students with Disabilities certified. This is my 8th year teaching in Perth Amboy and my 14th year teaching all together. I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd self-contained, 1st grade, 3rd grade, 5th grade, and now this is my first year in 6th grade. I taught 5th grade here at Shull last year, so I'm excited to have some of the same students and see many familiar faces. 

 

I have two daughters. Skylar is 6 and Mila is 4. When I'm not at school, I love to spend time with my family and friends. My daughters keep me pretty busy with gymnastics, daisys, and just being active kids. I own an ice cream truck, so during the summer I stay pretty busy with that as well.

 

I'm looking forward to teaching science with Mr. Campanile again and I'm also looking forward to teaching Social Studies with Ms. Wytanis for the first time. As your teacher, I want you to know that I am always here for you and your family. I will do my best to help you in any way I can. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions, concerns, or problems. I can be reached in person or by email at jennhayes@paps.net. Parents can email, text or call my cell, message on Class Dojo, or schedule an appointment. Let's have an amazing year!
