As the Preschool Special Education teacher, it is my passion to help students grow and learn through play academically, emotionally, and socially. I strive to create a positive learning environment where instruction is differentiated to ensure that all students make progress. Families are a crucial part of the education process and I look forward to working with the families of my students each year.
I have worked at John Hay for over 20 years and I am honored to be part of the Hay community. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, gardening, traveling, and spending time with my wonderful family. Let’s go Jaguars!!
I grew up and was educated in Logan, Utah. I graduated from Utah State University with an Bachelor of Sciences degree in elementary education in 1997. I moved back to Seattle, and taught at private schools in Issaquah and Bellevue for the first 3 years, then I entered the Seattle Schools at Graham Hill Elementary. I was layed off in 2003 and rehired the same year. I chose John Hay at that time and have been here ever since. I received a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in April of 2019. I love teaching!
I have a wonderful, supportive husband and 2 little dogs. I love reading, visiting family in Utah and England, and spending time reading and gardening, and just being in the sun.
Hello Hay! I have been a Registered Nurse for twenty years with almost the entirely of my career being based in family planning and reproductive health. A few years ago I made the switch to school nursing and am loving this new adventure in health care.
I grew up in a military family so I’ve been fortunate to have traveled the world from the beginning of my life. I think this early childhood “life on the go” has stuck with me, I’m an avid traveler and use any free time to travel the world with my partner Brian and our kids Kohen and Beckett. Aside from traveling, I love capturing images on my camera, backpacking, sailing, and I also run a non-profit arts organization with my partner.
Welcome to second grade! I’m Mrs. Crosser and I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year. Second grade is a great year! There are so many fun things to learn and do.
This is my 16th year in teaching (15th year in second grade) and 11th year at John Hay. John Hay is a fantastic school and I feel very lucky to be a part of this community. Go Jaguars!
My name is Jamie Ross Djelosevic, and I am a proud mom to 3 boys ages 7 to 13. I love spending time with my big family (cousins!), taking walks with my husband & pup, Sunny- and ALL things sports. When I am not at school, you can find me at the baseball, soccer, or football field.
This will be my 20th year working/volunteering in an educational setting. I am a Seattle native, but moved to Jacksonville, Florida to play fast pitch softball in college and become a Special Education teacher. I spent the first part of my career teaching in Florida, with a focus on early intervention communication and social skills. Most recently, I worked with a local cooperative preschool coordinating and teaching in the multi age classroom. I am so excited to be back in elementary school connecting with our youngest learners and their families!
Hello! I have been an educator since 2018. I became an educator post-college and have developed a love for teaching. I play saxophone and clarinet, I love playing jazz, and I make YouTube videos for fun.
