Student Support

I am thrilled to be a part of Chattahoochee’s IRR department! I have worked in Forsyth County for 15 years as a general education teacher in third and fourth grade, and as an IRR teacher serving children from kindergarten through fifth grade. I’m a graduate of Emory University and hold degrees in both Psychology and Religion. My teaching degree is from Georgia Southern University, and I have a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction: Integrating the Arts, from Lesley University. My husband and I have one daughter, a couple of fur babies, and deer and occasional bears that romp in our backyard...which is a mountain. We all enjoy hiking, reading, or just hanging out as a family! I am honored to be on this journey with you and your child this year! 

This will be my 8th year teaching at Chattahoochee. I am a KSU Graduate! I am married to my husband, Chris. We have 3 children. We enjoy baseball games, hanging out by the pool and playing games together! I look forward to another wonderful school year here at Chattahoochee, where EVERY student is a CHAMPION!

This will be my 26th year as a teacher! I have taught Kindergarten (in Miami, Florida) and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade here in Georgia. I have also been a special education IRR teacher in 3rd grade and 5th grade. This will be my 7th year at Chattahoochee, and I am proud to be the school's Title I Lead Teacher. I am super excited to be working with students to help them be successful in school and become life-long lovers of learning!!

This will be my third year at Chattahoochee Elementary. I have worked in the Forsyth County School System for the past 14 years. I look forward to serving your Title I child in the classroom again this year! Another favorite part of my job is promoting parent engagement in your child’s education. Coordinating events and promoting a sense of community are a passion of mine. My husband, Jeff and I like to travel together and love working on DIY projects on our home. Our daughter, Christina is beginning her third year at the University of Georgia, majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders, with a minor in Spanish. I am looking forward to another exceptional year helping your child become a CHAMPION!!

I began teaching in 1992 after graduating from Valdosta State with a degree in Special Education. I obtained a Master’s in Special Education from Walden University. I have taught all grade levels and areas of disability over the course of 25 years of teaching. I have also taught private Pre-K and special needs Pre-k. I came to Forsyth County Schools in July of 2016, so I am beginning my 5th year at Chattahoochee. I have two adult children – Sarah who is 25, married, and her husband is on deployment to Korea currently; I also have a son – Marvin, who will be a freshman at the University of North Georgia this fall majoring in accounting. I recently got married to my husband, Chris. We enjoy riding motorcycles (yes, I have my own), camping, fishing, gardening, traveling, white water rafting, and playing cards with friends.

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Jimenez, I'll be the paraprofessional aka Parapro in the Tawny Owls Pre-K class. I’m currently pursuing my degree in Early childhood education/ Special Ed. All online so I can spend as much time with these wonderful kiddos. This is going to be my 3rd year in the classroom, I have gotten the opportunity to work along side wonderful teachers and learned so much from them all. I am 25 and the oldest of 4 kids, I live at home with my parents while I am finishing out my degree. I love exploring new places, trying new food and love being cultured. I enjoy hiking and being out in nature as much as I possibly can. I was born in Atlanta and grew up all my life here in Forsyth! I come from a Mexican household, so I grew up speaking both Spanish and English, so that’s always a bonus to have. Can’t wait to learn along side your kids this year. I’m excited to have them in our classroom!

¡Hola! Mi nombre es Elizabeth Jiménez, seré la paraprofesional también conocida como Parapro en la clase Tawny Owls Pre-K. Actualmente estoy buscando mi título en Educación Infantil Temprana / Ed Especial. Todo en línea para que pueda pasar tanto tiempo con estos maravillosos niños. Este va a ser mi tercer año en la clase, he tenido la oportunidad de trabajar junto a maestras maravillosas y aprendí mucho de todas ellas. Tengo 25 años y soy la mayor de 4 hijos, vivo en casa con mis padres mientras estoy terminando mi grado. Me encanta explorar nuevos lugares, probar nueva comida y amo aprender de nuevas culturas. Me gusta el senderismo y estar en la naturaleza tanto como puedo. ¡Nací en Atlanta y crecí toda mi vida aquí en Forsyth! Vengo de un hogar mexicano, así que crecí hablando español e inglés, así que eso siempre es una ventaja para tener. No puedo esperar para aprender a lado de sus hijos este año. ¡Estoy emocionado de tenerlos en nuestra clase!
