Hello. My name is Jessica Jenkins, and I am excited to be your teacher this year! This is my seventh year in teaching. I taught first grade at Stockton Elementary School for three years. This will be my fourth year at Mallory Elementary as a 4th grade teacher.

I am not a stranger to Dallas County. I was born and raised in Elkland, Missouri. I graduated from Buffalo High School in 2000. I attended Ozark Technical Community College where I earned an Associates Degree in Printing and Graphic Design.  In 2013, I graduated from Southwest Baptist University with a degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Early Childhood. 

I have three children, John, Hunter and Adrienne who all attend Dallas County Schools. They are actively involved in wrestling, football, baseball,  and gymnastics.
