Welcome to QUEST!

My name is Ms. Jessica Weiss and I have the honor of being your child's QUEST teacher. I am very excited to begin my eighth year at Monta Jane Akin Elementary and my sixteenth year teaching in LISD.

My family is no stranger to the profession, and I am fortunate to follow in the footsteps of both my mother and grandmother.

When I was growing up I had a very unique perspective on teaching. I followed my mother to Robertson Elementary each day, and watched as she created a classroom filled with joy and learning. As well, my grandmother (a teacher of 51 years who retired from the LA Unified School District) was an example of patient and loving guidance. It is their example that I strive to live up to. I believe that each child is a gift to the world.

In my classroom I wish for children to work towards reaching their full potential! The adventure awaits...
