I'm really excited to be a part of the Settles Bridge family! This will be my 20th year teaching. I've had the pleasure of teaching 1st and 2nd grade. Prior to coming to Forsyth County, I worked in Baltimore County, Maryland (where I grew up) for 1 year, and Fulton County for the past 17 years. I have 3 children (6, 10, and 14) who also go to school in Forsyth County this year! We are all looking forward to the upcoming school year.

I am so excited to begin another year at Settles Bridge, and have another great parliament of HIGH FLYING OWLS! I received a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. I also hold a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Teaching Through the Arts from Lesley University, as well as a Gifted In-Field Endorsement and ESOL Endorsement. I have been a member of the Settles Bridge community, almost the beginning, joining in 2000! It has been a honor to begin, and continue my teaching career at such an amazing school! Over twenty years has gone by in a flash and it has been a joy to be a part of so many children’s lives! I am looking forward to another wonderful year at Settles Bridge!

Hello and welcome to 2nd grade! My name is Jennifer Hoxie, and I am so excited about this year! I have been teaching for 27 years and most of it has been here at Settles Bridge, as I opened this school back in 1999. I have taught kindergarten for 11 years, 1st grade for 2 years, 2nd grade for 11 years, and third grade for 3 years throughout my career. This year I will be back in 2nd grade, and looking forward to another great adventure! I graduated from the University of Georgia and also earned a Master’s degree from UGA! GOOOOOO DAWGS!! I love spending time with my family when I'm not at work. I have 2 daughters. My oldest daughter is also a teacher in Forsyth! My youngest daughter will be a sophomore at Georgia College. I also enjoy playing tennis, working out, and trying new places to eat! I will be an empty nester this year so can't wait to love on some 2nd graders! Let's have the best year ever! It's going to be fantastic, and I'm so glad each of your children are in my class! :-) I look forward to building new relationships and getting to know each and every child as an individual!

Let's have a fabulous year!

I am so excited to be a part of the Settles Bridge family and 2nd Grade team! I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in sunny Savannah, Georgia. I have lived in the Atlanta area for about five years. I enjoy exploring the city, spending time with family and friends, and going to the beach! I aim to instill a love of learning in each child by providing engaging, hands-on learning experiences that allow students to feel confident while also meeting each child exactly where they are. I am looking forward to a wonderful year in Second Grade!
