Mrs. Jennifer DeMar graduated from St. Xavier University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, a minor in Math Education, and specialized endorsements in both Mathematics and Social Studies.  This is her sixth year teaching Kindergarten at Arcadia School.  Prior to that, she taught 3^rd grade in Berwyn for five years, spent a year teaching Kindergarten in Joliet, and another year teaching Pre-Kindergarten in Homer Glen.  Each experience has helped her grow as a teacher and understand the importance of quality education in the early years of a child.

It is her mission to instill a love for learning in all of her students.  She teaches with a passion so that her students develop a desire to become life-long learners.  It is her goal that her students not only learn, but also have fun!   Please let her know if you have any questions or concerns. She believes it is important to keep communication open between parents and teachers and would love to talk to you whenever you feel the need. 

Mrs. DeMar is married with 2 young children and one dog.  She loves cooking, taking walks outside, and spending time with her family.
