Welcome Jacksboro Elementary School Families! My name is Jamie Flaniken and I am teaching Pre-k this year.  I graduated from Clemson University in 2002 in Early Childhood Education and from there I became a certified teacher in South Carolina. I also hold an EC-6 Texas certification and an ESL Texas Certification.    I have taught pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, first, second, third, and fourth grade.  I have also been a campus level technology coach in South Carolina and Texas. This is my year 11th year working in public education and my 5th year at Jacksboro ISD.  

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 4th grade, two children in 8th grade, one child in 10th grade, one child in 11th grade and one fur baby.  .  Patrick and I continue to work closely in the Foster Care Communities as mentors to foster and birth families.  

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!
