Welcome Panther Families! My name is Courtney Ice and I will be your child's 5th Grade Reading and Writing teacher! This is my 4th year at JPE, and my 13th year of teaching overall.  I am looking forward to starting a new journey with your child.  It's going to be full of new friends and new adventures!

I was born and raised in Champaign, IL. I attended Bradley University whereI received my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Math. I moved to Texas in 2019 and fell in love with the JPE family. I love to read, exercise, and go to the beach, but most of all, I love working with children!

This school year we will be independent, critical thinkers who make mistakes and take risks.  Scholars in my class will use a growth mindset to set goals for themselves and become leaders of tomorrow.  We are a family that shows respect, responsibility, and kindness every day.  

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out!  I want to partner with each of you to ensure the success of your child.
