Mrs. Jenny Parks

I've been teaching in the Rialto district since 2001. I am passionate about the subject matter I teach, but even more passionate about the students I serve. My third grade teacher inspired me to become an educator, and there have been many others along the way who have inspired and encouraged me. My hope is that all of my students know they are respected and loved. With this knowledge, they can then soar socially, emotionally, and academically.

I was inspired to be a teacher at a very young age. All the way through middle and high school, I worked really hard to make sure I could get into college. In college, I studied Human Development and then earned a teaching credential. I taught 14 years in Pomona Unified School District and now 21 years in Rialto Unified School District. I love it when children learn something new and they are inspired to reach higher heights.
