EXPERIENCE, ENCOURAGEMENT & COMMUNITY
Hello, I'm Mr. Claud.
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! This year marks my 16th year teaching and my ninth year at JMCA. I'm excited to share another year of learning with our fourth-grade students and families.
I'm a teacher and a parent. My family includes my wife, Karen, our daughter, Chelsey, and our son, Grayson. Karen and I have been married for more than 25 years.
Watching JMCA students grow over the years has been a privilege. Thank you, families, for the care and support you give your children along the way.
A NEW CHAPTER OF LEARNING
More to discover.
More ways to grow.
Fourth grade is a time to build on familiar skills, explore bigger ideas, and practice explaining our thinking.
Curiosity, effort, and a willingness to try help turn everyday challenges into opportunities to learn.
Discover new perspectives.
Books invite us to ask questions, look for meaning, and talk about ideas.
Make sense of the challenge.
Working through a problem builds persistence and gives us a chance to explain our reasoning.
Give your ideas a voice.
Writing helps us organize our thinking and share what we have to say.
Keep the questions coming.
Wondering about the world is a wonderful place to begin a new discovery.
SCHOOL & HOME, WORKING TOGETHER
Small conversations.
Meaningful connections.
Stay part of your child's learning through everyday conversations.
- Ask about something new they learned or a question they still have.
- Read together and talk about the ideas in the story.
- Invite your child to explain how they solved a problem.
- Celebrate effort, progress, and trying again.
LET'S CONNECT
A great year starts with connection.
