Olive Branch is my hometown, and I attended Olive Branch schools. #OB PRIDE! I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Mississippi and attended Belhaven University where I received my certification to teach elementary grades, and English and History in grades 7-12th.

My husband and I have two awesome kiddos, two crazy dogs, and three lazy cats. We are a sports loving family! We enjoy watching Memphis Grizz basketball and Memphis Tiger football. Some of my hobbies include working in my flower and vegetable gardens and on arts and crafts projects. I love to draw and paint. I can't wait to learn all about you this year! We have a very fun and exciting year planned in fourth grade!

Welcome! I am Mrs. Watkins and am very excited to be your language arts and social studies teacher this year. This is my 8th year at Center Hill Elementary, and I am extremely blessed to be a member of the CHES Mustang family.❤️

Communication

We will be using Remind 101 this year to communicate. You will have a Remind for both math and ELA classes. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. No one knows your child better than you, so let me know anything important that might help your child achieve their full potential.

*If there is an immediate change with your child's transportation, please call the school's office as soon as possible to let me know.*

Homework: Please read for at least 20 minutes each night. Also, study your vocabulary words each night. Tests will be every other Friday and will be matching and fill in the blank. A word bank will be given. (Written homework will be given on Mondays and due on Thursdays as needed.)

Graded papers are sent home on Wednesdays. Please sign the folder and send back the graded papers in the folder. If you ever need a copy of a test(s), just let me know, and I will be happy to send it home.
