Mrs. Jill Dingler

Hi, Welcome to my website! This is my 3rd year as the Instructional Coach at Westside Elementary. I am married to Jeff Dingler, and we have 3 children: Cade (20) Cole (18), and Chloe (13). I graduated with my Bachelor's of Business Administration from the State University of West Georgia in 2001, and earned my Master's of Education in Special Education in 2010 at Jacksonville State University. Most recently, I completed my Tier 1 Leadership Certification at the State University of West Georgia in 2022.

I have been teaching 19 years in Polk County, 17 of them at the WONDERFUL WESTSIDE ELEMENTARY. I am excited to get this school year underway, and look forward to helping your child succeed.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at jdingler@polk.k12.ga.us.

Educational Philosophy

My educational philosophy focuses on the individual learner, as well as; his/her educational needs. I want to provide teachers and students with strategies to help them reach their highest potential. I believe that developing positive character traits are essential to becoming a productive citizen in today's society. I also believe parental involvement is important to a child's success. I believe that parents and educators should work together to provide students with the best possible support system available.
