Family Engagement
Family Specialist
Mrs. Maria MoNtes
Hello Jackson-Keller families! I am Maria Montes, and I am proud to serve as your Family Specialist. I have been part of the Jackson-Keller family since December 2021.
As a proud Mexican American and bilingual English and Spanish speaker, family and community are at the heart of who I am. I became a Family Specialist because I want every family to feel welcomed, heard, and supported. I believe that building strong relationships between families and schools is an important part of helping every child succeed.
As your Family Specialist, I am here to support, empower, connect, advocate, and believe in our students and families. Whether you need school or community resources, parent classes, basic needs assistance, help navigating school services, or simply someone to listen, my door is always open.
Every Family. Every Child. Every Day.
