User's Manual: Jillian Williams
My Style: My hope is that I am viewed as both a professional educator as well as a friend to students and parents alike. I am a mother and can relate to the feelings and concerns you have as parents. Please consider me your partner this year.
What I Love: I love my family. My parents, who live half the year in my hometown of Laramie, Wyoming and half the year in Round Rock! My amazing husband Jayme, who works in leadership for Basis Texas. JJ, oldest who has his first job in Florida, Ava, our Baylor Bear, majoring in psychology, Evee, our softball player, and Tristan, our trumpet player. I also love pets! We have Kohl, our black cat who acts more like a dog and Chester, our dog who loves to chase squirrels.
What I Do for Fun: I love traveling with friends and family and experiencing new things. I may be afraid to try something new, but I almost never regret anything once I do it. I love outdoor fitness: hiking, running, walking, biking. I love mowing the lawn and doing yard work. I also love movies and reading books.
Communicating with Me: Email me anytime: jillian_williams@roundrockisd.org. It is the quickest way to get a response. I usually go to bed around 9:30 or 10:00, so don’t hesitate to email late. I check email before going to bed most evenings. I want to serve you--and that carries over past 3:00 pm.
How I Teach: I love to make school fun for children. I understand that different types of children enjoy different activities and learn in different ways. I differentiate many lessons but I also keep a structured routine so the class knows what to expect from day to day.
I how feel valued: Respect and appreciation (however you choose to show it) :)
What I Will Not Tolerate: I will not tolerate students treating other students poorly. Choose kindness. Include everyone. Those are things I say daily to my class.
Morning time: I am a morning person, but my mornings are often stressful as a mom of high schoolers! If I look stressed in the morning, it most likely has nothing to do with anything we are discussing.
You might need to know: I need coffee and chocolate everyday.
Be Proactive: Please communicate any important information to me. It is easier for me to help your child be successful when I know what your concerns and their needs are.
Student expectations: I choose to teach this grade for a reason. I think first grade is the sweetest age. They love school, are respectful, and beginning to become independent. I expect my students to take responsibility for bringing their materials to class and organizing their belongings. I expect them to give me things that you ask them to, unpack their own backpacks, clean up after themselves and keep track of their belongings. I always encourage them to ask for help when needed and I am always willing to help!
What I love about this School: I love everything about this school---but I truly love my co workers. I will never say a bad word about any of them. I think all staff at CRE work hard to educate, love, and care for the students.
My faults: I am not strong at proofreading, but I’m trying to do better. I make many typos in emails and letters. I apologize in advance!
My Professional Goal for 2025-2026: Mindset has a powerful impact on how children experience learning and whether or not they continue to grow and thrive. I want to lead my class (and myself) toward developing a healthier mindset.
