Welcome to Ms. Jones 8th Grade Biology Class!
I am very excited to be a part of Beach Park Middle School (BPMS) and have the privilege of working with the students in BPMS. I look forward to having a successful year while pushing learning to a whole new level. This webpage is an additional resource to help parents and students succeed by providing useful information for my classes. We are BPMS Eagles, so we always soar to the highest heights possible in my classes. This webpage will encourage and empower our Eagles to continue to soar at home!

About Me.....
I have a strong passion for education and learning. I believe teaching is not something you choose but something that chooses you- I was chosen to teach; it’s not something I just decided to do. I’ve earned several degrees from a variety of universities. I have taught middle school for over 9 years and love it. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I am also part of the Illinois State Board of Education Curriculum Writing team, where I am working to help science educators evolve education into more meaningful experiences for our children. I believe every child has the ability to learn regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other factors that affect many of the children in our community. Every child is unique and should be educated with various approaches that maximizes their individual potential. I endeavor to promote student success not only through the transfer of knowledge but also by positively developing the child’s self-esteem, self-image, and individual strengths. I hope each student that I educate gains some of the passion I have for education and uses it fuel their future educational goals. I look forward to working with the students, parents, and community to make a positive impact on our futures.
