Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! My name is Mrs. Aja Jackson and I am thrilled about being your child’s 1^st grade teacher!  I completed my Bachelors of Science degree in Early Childhood Education at Newberry College and I have taught first grade for six years.  I have found an abundance of joy in my teaching journey thus far, and I am excited to continue this journey as a media owl!

I currently reside in Irmo, SC with my husband and our ten-year-old daughter.  While I am not teaching, I enjoy spending my time with my family.  I enjoy reading, traveling, wedding planning/directing, shopping, and spending time in the sunshine!

My classroom has an open door policy, which means you are always welcome to visit and be a part of our learning experiences.  When contacting me, you may email me at ajackson@lexrich5.org or contact me via phone at 803-476-8500. My planning period is from 12:30 pm-1:20 pm each day, which means I will be more than happy to speak with or meet with you during this time.  An appointment should be scheduled with me in advance.

I look forward to a FANTASTIC school year! Together we can make first grade fun, exciting, and engaging for your child!
