Mrs. Rogers

Welcome to 2nd Grade! My name is Jessica Ballard and I can't wait to be your child's teacher this year. I am excited for everything we are going to learn! We have a fun year ahead :) 

This will be my second year at JA as well as my second year teaching! I have a dual major in Elementary Education and Special Education from Metropolitan State University of Denver. My favorite subject to participate in is math and my favorite subject to teach is language arts. I love acquiring new skills and can't wait to learn alongside my students this year! 

I got married in February of 2023. My Husband’s name is Brennen. We have a Great Dane named Brandy and a kitten named Nutmeg! I enjoy spending time outside when it snows, reading, taking walks, and spending time with my family :) I am a Colorado native but I love to Travel. My favorite places are London, Paris, and Walt Disney World! 


I look forward to a wonderful 2nd Grade year! ✏️😁

Hello 2nd Grade! Welcome! My name is Amanda Rogers and I am so excited to be in your class helping out. We are going to learn and grow together and have a blast this year.


This year, I am returning to work, from being a stay at home mom. I will be an Educational Assistant, which means supporting Mrs. Ballard and the students in our classroom.   I went to college and got my Associates in Liberal Arts, but specialized in Early Childhood Education. I love working with kids and watching them grow and change throughout the year. 


I met my husband back in 2008, while working up at Mt. Evans Outdoor Lab School. We got married in 2011 and now have three kids and three dogs! Our house is busy, busy, but we love it! My kids all attend JA primary school and love going here. In my free time, I love to read, take pictures, go hiking or go on walks, and spend time with my family.


I look forward to getting to know you all and having a wonderful year! 🙂
