Jessica Uebel
Hi! My name is Jessica Uebel and I have been teaching since 2003. I am currently a Kindergarten teacher in the Northport-East Northport School District. I taught second grade and third grade as well. I graduated from St. Joseph’s College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Study and a minor in Human Relations. I have my M.S.Ed in Literacy, from L.I.U. In addition to my Masters Degree, I’ve completed over 90 hours of graduate courses. I consider myself to be a life-long learner! I am passionate about my work and the work being done in this profession.
If you can’t find me in the classroom, chances are I am on a soccer, football or lacrosse field. My two sons keep me very busy! They are 11 and 9 years old. We love to go to the beach, travel to the mountains, and snowmobile. I am an avid reader and Netflix binger. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
