About me
Hello D.C. West Falcon families! My name is Rhonda Jonas and I am a 3rd grade teacher in the elementary. This is my thirty-third year in education. I've had the pleasure of teaching at Valley/DC West for twenty-nine years. I've taught students in Kindergarten, First, Second and Third Grades. I truly enjoy working with younger students because they are so eager to learn and grow. I'm looking forward to a wonderful year with the kiddos! I graduated with my bachelors in Elem. Edu. K-8, as well as earning my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, both from Wayne State College.
I love spending time with my family. My husband and I are thrilled for our first grandchild to arrive this coming January! Above, pictured is our daughter Hanna, son John, and our daughter-in-law Emma at their wedding in June 2024.

I'm looking forward to getting to know each of my students' families this year as well as working as partners to ensure that your child has a happy and successful year in third grade. Please contact me with any questions for concerns that you may have.
