Welcome! My name is Mrs. Jennifer Rau.

Mrs. Rau’s Early Years:

I attended Ashland Elementary and North Schuylkill High School. I graduated from the home of the Spartans in 1995. I then attended Bloomsburg University and graduated with a Bachelor degree in 1999. I was a substitute teacher for half of a year for NS and was hired for the start of the 2000-2001 school year. I was thrilled to get hired at my home school, North Schuylkill. I taught a year in first grade and a year in third grade at Ashland Elementary. Then I moved to Ringtown Elementary and have been teaching second grade for the past 4 years.
