Dear Porter Students and Families,
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 2019-2020 school year at Mary G. Porter Traditional School! My name is Ryan Joiner and I am excited to be your third-grade teacher this year! I am looking forward to an exciting year of learning, laughter and adventures! It is my goal to create a safe and positive learning environment where all students can grow in their social and academic skills. I believe that each student has great potential and can succeed, and it is my goal to challenge and encourage them to do so this year. I can’t wait to meet you and learn more about you, but
first I’ll tell you a little about myself.
I have lived here in Virginia for Sixteen years but I am originally from Kansas City, Missouri. This will be my second year being a part of the amazing Porter community! Recently, I received my Masters degree in Elementary Education from George Mason University. When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy playing golf, cooking BBQ, and watching baseball. Most important of all, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters. I look forward to helping you achieve your personal and academic goals and I can’t wait to see your growth this year.
Please contact me any time with any questions or concerns. My email is joinercr1@pwcs.edu
