This month, September 15th through October 15th, Southside ISD is excited to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Throughout this month at the district, we will explore and recognize the history of our students, staff, and teachers of Hispanic heritage. This is a rich opportunity for the district to honor Hispanic culture and appreciate our culturally diverse community.

Substitute Appreciation
September 6-10 is National Substitute Appreciation Week so we wanted to take a minute to recognize two of the best! Heritage is lucky enough to have two ladies that always say, “Yes,” when asked to work. Mrs. Cruz and Mrs. Reyes have been members of our team for years. Both of them are able to work in monolingual classes as well as dual language classes. They are flexible and reliable and we appreciate them. During this COVID cautious time, they still come in and work; without them, classes would have to be split amongst other teachers and their already full classes. Thank you ladies for being true professionals and for always showing up!
Back to School Bash
Some familiar faces and new faces enjoyed serving KONA Ice to students and families!
Heritage Leaders are Recognized
At the May board meeting, three members of our team were recognized for participating in an enrichment program. Instructional coach, Kristi Scott, 1st grade team lead, Venessa Cerda, and 4th grade team lead, Terrena Bernal, spent the last year working upwards of 1.5 hours a week and meeting at least 3 times a month. These three ladies learned about daily tasks and procedures involved in being a campus administrator. They received presentations from every department within the district to gain a deeper understanding of not only the academics of a campus, but how you also must be business oriented to keep the campus functioning as it should. Finally, they learned the importance of working together with each department to help a campus run as smoothly as possible. We are so fortunate to have these three leaders as part of our team!
Good bye to an amazing teacher!
When the last day of the 2020-2021 school year comes, most of us will be relieved and hope that next year brings a bit more normalcy. However, next year will not be the same without one of our most treasured teachers, Ms. Karen Quebe. After teaching four years at Losoya Intermediate School then opening Heritage Elementary and working here for 22 years, she is retiring. Ms. Quebe has made a positive impact on the lives of so many Southside students and their families along with the difference she made at our school. For the last 8 years she has been our dyslexia teacher, working with small groups of students to get them where they need to be. Thank you for your dedication and service to Southside. As you run off to race in more marathons, know you’ll always have a home here at Heritage.
