Jessica Chiddix
7th Grade English Language Arts Teacher
Platte City Middle School
My family and I Iove the small-town feel of Platte City but also enjoy being close enough to the city to take advantage of what it has to offer. My husband Shawn and I met in college at Northwest Missouri State (Go Bearcats!) and have been married for 22 years. We have two children. Our daughter graduated a Pirate attends Northwest and our son attends Platte County High School and will be a senior.
I grew up in Florida and love anything related to the beach. Every time we go to visit or see family, I can't wait to get back! I have two sisters in which I'm the oldest. In high school, my family moved to Oklahoma and then later on to Lincoln, Nebraska where I graduated high school. After college, I got my first teaching job in the Park Hill School District. I taught first, second, fourth and fifth grades there in the same building. Having that much movement between grade levels has broadened my horizon as to meet middle schoolers where they are academically.
I'm very excited to be apart of the PCMS family and to be a Pirate! Please feel free to visit my classroom website!
