welcome class of 2020
Dear Student & Parents,
My name is Amber Spence and I am looking forward to working with you this year. I have been working in education for 5+ years, and this is my second year at St. Jerome School. I have a BA in Modern European History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MA in American History from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I know that if we work together, your students will have a successful year. Gradelink and email is my prime form of communication. My email address is aspence@stjeromewestchester.org. Email is the best way to reach me, and I respond as quickly as possible, but not generally over weekends. Please feel free to ask me any questions as they come up.
