Hi, my name is Mark Jerome and I am excited to be your students' 4th grade teacher this year at Atlas Elementary. This is my 20th year as a teacher in the Cd'A district and my 17th at Atlas. I am looking forward to a great year with your student filled with exciting and interesting learning opportunities. One of my goals is to make learning fun! I am a graduate of North Idaho College and Gonzaga University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree. Go Zags!
I have a philosophy that students, teachers, and parents are all valuable members of the same learning team. As your child’s teacher I agree to set high expectations and help your child strive to meet them. My hope is that parents also participate in their student's educational experience. I also believe that consistency and communication between teachers and parents is essential for a great learning experience. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable family-type environment that promotes trust amongst each other, encourages learning and understanding.
“The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.”
