Joni Hancock
I am starting my eighteenth year as a teacher at La Center Elementary School. I love this community so much that I moved here with my family 11 years ago. I appreciate the small, close-knit community and look forward to meeting new families each school year. I am committed to providing your child with a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that will give them ample opportunity to grow as learners, but even more importantly, as people. I encourage open communication from students and parents about their educational experience, so please feel free to contact me about any questions or concerns that may come up during the year. I look forward to forming a partnership with you so that your child is learning in a fun and engaging manner that enables them to apply what their learning while they are in school and outside of school.
