Meet Ms. Jalynn Barron
Hello! My name is Jalynn Barron and I am extremely excited to join an awesome third grade team at Skaggs Elementary. I am a Plano West graduate and had a memorable experience being a student in Plano ISD and it feels great to give back to the community. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Texas in Austin and continued on to gain my teaching certificates in San Antonio. I’m passionate about seeing a students growth and challenging them on a daily basis. I enjoy spending time with my family and being active through playing soccer or any type of sport! I can’t wait to work with our bright students and see their vast potential! Please reach out with any questions and I'd love to help in anyway I can.
Meet Ms. Madison Lee
Hi! This will be my first year teaching at Skaggs but my 2nd year teaching 1st Grade!
I went to The University of Texas at Dallas and have a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and EC-6th teacher certification, as well as my ESL certification. My sweet man Alex and I have a baby girl named Lilah who is 4 1/2 months old! She is our whole world! We have two crazy cats, Gizmo and Bolt. I love the beach, going to movies, going out to eat, and having fun with friends/family. I can already tell this school is a wonderful place to be!
