Jennifer Weilert has been with USD #489 for 5 years!
My favorite thing about working for 489: My awesome colleagues and the daily AhHa moments that happen in Kindergarten. I love spending my days with the Littles.
Fun fact about me: My First degree after High School was in Veterinary Technology. I worked as a Registered Veterinary Technician until I had my oldest daughter. I kept my license until I went back to school to get my degree in Elementary Education at 30 years old. I’m currently working towards a Master’s. It’s never too late.
