My name is Kathy Janik and I am thrilled to be your child’s 3^rd grade ELA/SS teacher this year.  I attended both Dulles Middle School and Dulles High School. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M (Go Aggies!) and then pursued my teaching certification and Masters in Education from The University of Houston. Before having children, I taught first grade in Alief ISD and enjoyed every single minute of it!  My husband Mike and I have two amazing boys, Michael Ryan and Tate. Michael Ryan just graduated with a landscape architecture degree at Texas A&M and Tate is a freshman at A&M studying engineering. I am so happy to be a part of this exceptional school! I truly believe that mutual respect and trust between teacher and student boosts self- confidence and in turn, motivates kids to learn. I am looking forward to getting to know you and your children. My lines of communication are always open. Please don’t hesitate to use them.  

They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. ~Carl W. Buechner
