Jessica Chiddix
6th Grade English Language Arts Teacher
Platte City Middle School
My family and I have set some roots here in Platte City, and this town is what we have been looking for! We love the small-town feel but are still 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 20 years. We have two children who attend Platte County High School.
Personally, I grew up in Florida and have a love affair with anything related to the beach and ocean. 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 really broadened my horizon as to meet middle schoolers where they're at 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!
