Welcome Jacksboro Elementary School Families! My name is Jamie Flaniken and I am so excited to be spending my time this year in Pre-kindergarten with Mrs. Fudge and as the school's Parent Liaison.  I graduated from Clemson University in 2002 in Early Childhood Education and from there I became a certified teacher in South Carolina.  I have taught pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, third grade, and fourth grade.  I have also been a campus level technology coach in South Carolina and Texas. This is my eighth year working in public education and my second year at Jacksboro ISD.  I am also the Children's Director for CCF Sacred Circle for FUMC Jacksboro and The Parish.  

I am married to the Director of Bands, Patrick Flaniken.  Together, we have one biological daughter, three adopted daughters, and one adopted son.  We have one child in 1st grade, two children in fifth grade, one child in seventh grade, one child in eight grade and one fur baby.  Patrick and I continue to work closely in the Foster Care Communities as mentors to foster and birth families.  

The Parent Center is room 17 and has community resources as well as resources to help your child at home.  I will be assisting and providing support at the quarterly grade level meetings.  My door is always open and I look forward to assiting families as we all work together to give each child the best education possible.  You may reach me at flanikenjt@jacksboroisd.net or (940) 567-7206 ext 259.  It's a great day to be a TIGER!
