Ms. Jessica Lawrence
My name is Jessica Lawrence and I am new to Oak Grove this year! This is my 17th year teaching as a Special Educator but my first in the Wappingers Central School District. I am certified as a Special Education Teacher for grades K-12 and General Elementary Education Teacher for grades 1-6. I attended the State University of New York at New Paltz where I received my Bachelor's Degree and I hold dual Master's Degrees in Education from both Mercy University and Mount Saint Mary College. I have triplet daughters who just turned 12 this year and I love watching them do the things they love like swimming, soccer, volleyball, playing the piano and participating in musical theater productions. I believe in the power of Special Education and that every child has the ability to learn and grow. It has been my privilege to teach students of varying ability levels and diagnoses throughout my career and I cannot imagine loving a profession more than I love being a teacher! I am looking forward to getting to know your child and working closely with you to help them achieve their goals!
