Welcome! My name is Mrs. Rodriquez-Joos (Mrs. Joos). This is my 3rd year teaching at Washington Montessori. I lived in the St. Louis area all my life, relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, and missed St. Louis so much that I moved back. I live with my husband and two kids, Gabe and Penny. We have one dog, Carl, and one cat, named Kat.  I love to spend time with my family and love going to the ocean when I am not teaching. I am just so very excited to be your child's teacher for the 2023-2024 school year!

The best time to contact me is before school, 7:50-8:30 am, and after school 4:30-5:30 Monday -Friday. Also, you can also reach out on Monday- Friday at my planned time. On the weekends I will try to respond in a timely manner (24-hour response). message me on Class Dojo.
