Welcome to 4th Grade!! My name is Jessica Haney. I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. My parents and 2 siblings still live in the Fort Worth area. 

I attended Texas Tech University and Texas State University and majored in Elementary Education. 

This is my 22nd year of teaching and my 1st year at Barton Creek. I previously taught at Valley View Elementary for 6 years. My teaching experience includes: Kindergarten for 5 years, 1st grade for 5 years, 3rd grade for 10 years, and this will be my 2nd year teaching 4th grade. I previously taught in Lake Travis ISD and Austin ISD.

I love teaching elementary because they start off as eager, curious, little learners who fast become independent, responsible, empowered big kids! Then there is the added bonus of the stories they tell, the empathy and kindness they show without ever being asked, their understanding of fairness and why it is so fundamental, and they have jokes, y'all, hilarious jokes!! 

I have 2 daughters and a giant puppy named Pickles. We are also residents of the Cuernavaca community. My oldest daughter, Emily, will be a Sophomore at West Lake High School, and my youngest daughter, Sophie, will be a 6th grader at West Ridge Middle School this year!!! 

I LOVE what I do, even when it's hard :)
