Letter from the Superintendent – Pearce Elementary

by

Dear Southside ISD Community,

On April 17, 2021, a fire at Pearce Elementary affected 13 classrooms and the cafeteria. An investigation determined that arson was the cause of the fire. At the request of the Bexar County Fire Marshal’s Office, Southside ISD refrained from making any statements to avoid compromising the integrity of the investigation.

Through cooperative efforts with the Bexar County Fire Marshal’s Office, a suspect was arrested in connection with the fire. We want to be very clear, Southside ISD will not tolerate any criminal behavior and we will prosecute anyone involved to the fullest extent of the law. It is criminal that the suspect caused a major upheaval to the learning environment of hundreds of Southside ISD school children.

We know that our students are resilient and we remain committed to their safety and academic success. Southside ISD will continue to be transparent at all times. Now that this suspect has been arrested, we can move forward and continue with the great work going on here at Southside ISD. Lastly, we are grateful and very proud of our parents, teachers, other campuses, and staff for coming together to help our students at Pearce Elementary.

Thank  you

ROLANDO RAMIREZ
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, SOUTHSIDE ISD

Dear Parents

This morning, Tuesday May 4, the district received a report of inappropriate online conduct at one of the student’s homes within the boundaries of Heritage Elementary. This inappropriate conduct apparently took place before the class session began. The district is investigating the matter. Please know that the safety and security of our students and staff is a priority of the district. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the district at (210) 882-1607.

Heritage Student Art

by

Since the pandemic has kept many of you from visiting our campus, we want to share some of the artwork created by our students. It is hard to tell if you’re in a school or art gallery with all the beautiful pieces hanging in our halls.  Since March, the students have learned about artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, and O’Keeffe while creating Spring pictures.  They have also tried weaving on a variety of student made looms.  Following this, students learned about insects, spiders, and bees while creating their own bug inspired pieces.

STAAR Pep Rally

by

On Friday, April 30, our students were treated to a STAAR studded pep rally to celebrate all their hard work thus far.  The STAAR tests are a week away, but we wanted our students to know we are with them.  Every student in every grade received a goody bag and the 1st and 2nd grades made posters and cheered on the STAAR grade levels as they exited the building.  Both students and staff enjoyed getting dressed up in their most glamorous Hollywood attire!

Happy Administrative Assistant Day!

Heritage is lucky to have three amazing ladies that keep the office and school running smoothly.  Ms. Sylvia greets guests, answers calls, and generally everything else that someone might need.  Ms. Melinda keeps track of student data, monitors and assists with keeping students in class.  Ms. Deborah is in charge of ordering, time sheet data, substitutes, and will cover classes when we are short staffed.  Thank you ladies for all your hard work and all you do for our school and community!
