Welcome to third grade!  My name is Christen Jaltuch and I will be your child's teacher.  I am excited about sharing this year with your child and you.  Welcome back to Arcadia if you are a returning student.  If you are a new student, welcome!  Arcadia is home away from home and you will feel comfortable very quickly.  This year may still have challenges, but we'll get through them together.  I have taught here at Arcadia for 19 years.  I have taught both 2nd and 3rd grade.  I am married and have a 9 year old boy named Alex and an 4 1/2 year old daughter named Samantha. We will have a busy and eventful year.  I will keep you informed of what's happening in class through email, Google Classroom, and Class Dojo.  My email is cjaltuch@sd162.org.  My phone number is 708-747-3535 ext. 5228.  Communication is very important to make this a successful school year.  I can't wait to get started!
