Ms. Jerniece RayJerniece West
Para-educator
 
I am very excited to be a part of the Woodside team!  I have a passion for education and children. I sincerely believe access to high-quality education is a right that every child deserves. 

I have worked as a nanny for many years. I have volunteered for 10 Book A Home non-profit organization that develops school readiness skills for preschool-aged children. My hope is to leverage my professional experiences and my educational background to contribute and to enrich the learning at Woodside in my role as a paraeducator. I desire to help students establish a sense of belonging. No matter their economic status, culture, or academic/emotional challenges. I want to ensure that we offer all kids a sense of community. I want each kid to know that I will not give up on them. I want them to feel like Woodside believes in them. 

I hope to be a reflection of the hospitality myself and my daughter has received since becoming a part of the Woodside community. I want to give our kids hope.
