My name is Jennifer LaGro and this is my tenth year teaching at Ralph Chandler Middle School. I am very excited to be in such a wonderful learning environment where student learning and growth is a priority. I know that this year will be uncharted waters for all of us. My hope is that we can navigate through these schedules and shifts with grace and understanding. We are all in this together!

I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Middle Level Language Arts and Middle Level Social Studies from Lourdes University in Sylvania, Ohio. My husband and I moved to South Carolina 12 years ago with our children.

I spend my free time during the school year watching sports and reading. We start the school year with a lot of football in my house and then we seem to spend the rest of the year on Lacrosse as my youngest plays and my oldest coaches. My youngest is a Junior at Woodmont High School and I have 3 children who have already graduated Woodmont. I have a daughter entering the Army National Guard Reserves this fall and another daughter who will be making me a grandma this fall!

I know how important it is to be able to express concerns with your child's teacher should the need arise. I encourage any and all communication from you regarding your child. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. I will do my very best to respond to any communication within 24 hours of receipt. I firmly believe that your child can only benefit from having and open communication policy between us.
