About Me

Hello!  I am Melissa Cook and I will be your child’s first grade teacher!  I 
am thrilled to begin a new year with you and your child.  First grade is an 
amazing year--you will be amazed at the academic growth your child will make 
throughout the school year.  This is one reason why I love teaching first 
grade.

	I grew up in Austin and attended Southwest Texas State University.  I 
received my bachelor and master degrees from there.  I taught 3rd grade for 5 
years in Hays CISD before I moved to Jollyville.  I joined the 2nd grade team 
and stayed there for 7 years.  This will be my 3rd year in 1st grade—and I 
love it!

	My husband, Russ, and I have a 3 ½ year old son, Riley.  He is a 
loveable ball of energy and we enjoy every moment (well, most of them)!    I 
enjoy photography, scrapbooking, gardening, and cooking in my spare time.  My 
husband and I are Texas Longhorn football fans and we live for college 
football in the fall.

	I’m very excited to begin another year at Jollyville.  Our school is 
filled with staff members who are dedicated to their profession.  If you have 
any questions or concerns, please feel free to bring them to my attention.  I 
can be reached before or after school by calling 428-2223.  I do communicate 
through email whenever possible, so feel free to send me a message at
