My name is Mrs. Janida Newby. This is my thirteenth year at Washington Avenue School. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Graphic Arts Technology from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) in 1996. I later earned my Bachelor of Arts in Teacher Education from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.
My goal as your child’s fourth grade teacher is to help them excel academically and enrich their minds. Furthermore, I have high expectations for all of my students and I will challenge their brains and will encourage them to always do their best. I want you to know that I care about everyone of my students and their families. I will be patient, empathetic, and offer my expertise to help benefit my students’ academic success.
