My name is Jennifer Parsons, and this is my 4^th year teaching at Deer Creek Elementary. I completed my student teaching here as well, and also spent a semester as a paraprofessional after graduating in December 2005. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in severe-profound special education; and I am certified in the areas of severe/profound, mild/moderate, and elementary education. Before going back to college in 2000, I spent 6 years at a physical therapy clinic; and before that I spent 10 years at home with my 3 daughters. They are grown now and living in Norman. The oldest (Erin) is in the OU colorguard and studying Elementary Education. Julie is planning a career in psychology, and Torey is a senior in high school. She will be attending USAO next year studying English. However, I won’t be left with an empty nest, as I will still have 4 dogs and 3 guinea pigs to keep me company.

I enjoy watching Erin at the OU games (which is tough for a Cowboy fan!). Torey is also involved with her marching band, and the girls and I enjoy going to watch her perform at contests around the state. In my spare time I enjoy reading, watching old movies, and working in my yard. During the fall my favorite pastime is College football.

I look forward to the upcoming school year and partnering with you in your child’s education.
