Hi! My name is Jaimie Ruggiero and I am presently a 4th Grade Special Education Teacher. I received my Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood and Childhood Education at SUNY Plattsburgh. I continued my education at Touro College and received my Masters of Science in Childhood Special Education. I have worked as a classroom teacher at PS 111 Adolph S Ochs since 2011 and have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. I currently live on Long Island in Nesconset, NY with my small but growing family. My teaching philosophy is that learning never stops. I believe this to be true of all of my students as well as myself.
