Welcome and Introduction
Welcome to Winslow High School for the 2017 – 2018 school year! I am excited that I will be your son or daughter’s English teacher. My name is Ms. Jacobsen (Todich’ii’nii bashishchiin Norway dashicheii biligaana dashineii Bidwells of England and Blackfoot tribe). I am new to the district and come from teaching on the Rez where I taught grades 7 - 12. Prior to that, I taught grades K through college in California. I am getting married this November to my boyfriend who is Navajo; we have two wonderful children who are in 4th and 7th grade.
I came to this school so that I can help your child learn, grow, and succeed in their education and propel them into a positive future! Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help your child. I have an open door policy; if you or your child would like to come speak to me, please come in or make an appointment with me. Let's make this a positive and fun-filled year together as learn about one another.
Go Bulldogs!
