Welcome to 4th Grade
Mrs. Melissa Golon
Dear Families-
My name is Mrs. Golon. I am so excited to be a fourth grade teacher here at John Jenkins Elementary! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your child. Together we will achieve great success and have a fantastic year!
I grew up in Delaware where I got my bachelor’s at University of Delaware. After graduating I quickly received my Masters in Elementary Education at Wilmington University. I taught elementary for 6 years in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Virginia where I also pursued and achieved a licensure in Gifted Education. Then, I taught 5th grade in Bahrain for two years before having my 4 beautiful children. I also have extensive experience with Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia.
I can’t wait to meet you and to start an exciting year at Jenkins!

My name is Mr. Miller, and I am incredibly excited to welcome you to fourth grade at John D. Jenkins Elementary School. I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable summer break with your families. I look forward to getting the school year started soon!
This year, we will be learning so many new things! We will use our problem-solving and critical thinking skills in math to solve real-world problems. In science, we will explore many different units such as weather, the Solar System, the Ocean, ecosystems, and VA natural resources – to name a few! We will read exciting novels in language arts while developing comprehension skills. Finally, in social studies, we will travel back in time to when Virginia was first explored and discover the challenges and successes our great state faced to become what Virginia is today. There are lots of learning experiences awaiting you in the year ahead!
I look forward to meeting you at Open House either virtually on August 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. using the zoom link below or in person from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in room 224.
I am looking forward to working with you this school year. Bring your love for learning, and we will accomplish great things!

Mr. Miller
