Ms. Jennifer Bird

       Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!  My name is Jennifer Bird and I am very excited to be your child's 5th grade teacher this year.  I love teaching and being a part of the Red Oak family.  It should be a very fun and exciting year; a year of extreme growth and learning for everyone!  
        A little bit about myself:  I received my undergraduate degree in Sociology from Cal Lutheran and went on to obtain my teaching credential and Master's Degree in Elementary Education from CSUN.  I am an advocate for life-long learning and will hopefully help inspire your children to become life-long learners as well.  This will be my eleventh year at Red Oak and my 28th year teaching.
       On a personal note, I live in Thousand Oaks with my 15-year-old daughter Brooke who is going to be a sophomore at Westlake High School this year!  Hard to believe she's getting her driving permit in November!  She plays on a travel softball team and we took a fun two-week trip to Colorado this summer for two tournaments.  I have an awesome nephew who is a junior at OPHS and Brooke and I have a crazy lab named Sammy who loves everybody!  I was born and raised in California and love the Dodgers!  I have an identical twin sister who is an English teacher at Westlake High School.  You might see her around town, so don't think I'm rude if she doesn't say hi!  My family and I love going to the beach and we also love Big Bear and Avila Beach!
       I hope you all had a nice summer and are as excited about this year as I am!  I'm looking forward to getting to know your children and to a wonderful school year.  Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. 
   
Sincerely,
