Hello, my name is Jan Jirik and I have been at St. John's for 36 years. I have taught Physical Education and coached volleyball during my years serving this community. I have made it a point to stay current on trends in Phy-Ed and Health by attending classes/workshops and staying connected to professional organizations in my area. Coaching volleyball was definitely a highlight in my younger teaching years! It was fun to get to know the girls outside of class and watch them reveal all those good character traits that make the students at St. John's so special. I am back coaching the 7th/8th grade girls this year. They needed a coach and I needed to be involved in St. John's athletics again!!
This year I will be teaching grades 3-8. I enjoy all ages of students and feel blessed to get to know the students for 5 years before they leave us and go to high school. Those bonds have kept me going and watching them grow up , has made me enjoy each one of them. The families are the greatest part of this school and being connected to them is a blessing!!!
My Schedule this year is:
1st hour-7th grade on even days
6th grade on odd days
2nd hour- 7th on even days
6th on odd days
3rd hour- 8th grade
4th hour- 8th grade
5th hour-3rd grade
6th hour- 4th/ 5th grade
I am available before school and after school until 4:00. My email address is : [email protected]. My phone contact number is: 952-890-6604 ext. #236. Please understand that I check email and phone before school, at lunch time and after school only- I am in the Gym the rest of the day and the focus is on the students in that Gym!!! Hoping your child/children have a great year in Gym!! I love seeing them gain confidence in their physical ability and going out of their comfort zone to try many new activities!!!
