My name is Jenifer Strimaitis.  I began working at Sterling Community School in August 2003.  In school, I go by Ms. Strimaitis, because although I am married, I elected to keep my maiden name.  I have four children and live in Rhode Island.  

​

For my undergraduate work, I studied French at the University of Rhode Island and spent three semesters at L'Universite d'Orleans, France.  When I graduated, I began working at a school for children with autism in Massachusetts.  I recieved my Master of Science in Education during this time from Simmons College.

​

I love watching children learn and grow.  I hope that every student will acheive as much as they possibly can in order to be happy, healthy and independent.  I work hard to individualize schedules, programs and instructional techniques to fit the unique needs of every student.

​

Being assigned to my caseload is a PPT decision and takes into consideration many facets of a child's learning, behavioral and social-emotional needs.  I am thankful for all the wonderful students and families I have worked with thus far, and I look forward to meeting new students and families in the future!
