Fun Facts About
Hello! My name is Jennifer Giaconia and I am thrilled to have you in my class this year. This is my sixteenth year of teaching, and my sixth year at Elms. Here I've taught 3rd grade for two years and I'm ready to start my fourth year in 4th grade with you! Previously, I worked at two different public schools in Bergen County where I taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade. My husband and I relocated from northern New Jersey, and four years ago we welcomed our daughter, Emily. We enjoy spending time with our dog Belle, going out for ice cream, and living so close to the beach that we can go anytime during the year. I am so happy to be part of the Jackson School District and I'm excited to be spearheading our school's Kindness Club with Ms. Vitale this year. I am looking forward to a fantastic year ahead of us!

Summer 2023 Highlights...
Spending LOTS of time at the beach (we love collecting and painting shells), taking MANY trips to the boardwalk (we LOVE rides and playing games), and watching Emily learn how to boogie board in the ocean!
