The student of the week for Heritage is Kylynn Martinez. Although shy, she becomes talkative when given the time to know someone. In fact, Kylynn becomes down right adventurous. She is very involved in sports with her favorites being a toss up between basketball and volleyball. This semester, she participated in intramural soccer and volleyball. At home, she loves to swim and ride atv’s. Kylynn also enjoys playing Roblox, reading, and being a big sister to her two little brothers.
Today we celebrate our amazing custodial team at Heritage Elementary! Head Custodian Felix, morning custodian Elva, and mid-day custodians Lorena and Jacob go above and beyond every single day. From handling unexpected surprises (even snakes!), ensuring student safety, and taking care of countless essential campus needs, they keep our school running smoothly and shining bright.
No matter the task, big or small, this team tackles it with dedication, flexibility, and always with a smile. Their hard work creates a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where students can learn, teachers can teach, and our entire school community can thrive.
We are so thankful for Felix, Elva, Lorena, and Jacob for the countless ways they support Heritage. Your pride in your work and your kindness to others make a difference every single day!

Our student spotlight this week is on Maddox Lopez. Maddox is currently a 4th Grader, and joined our Heritage Family last school year. Maddox is a curious and enthusiastic student who loves to learn. From day one, Maddox has taken ownership of his own learning by setting goals for himself. Maddox comes to school daily with a positive attitude, eager, and ready to learn new knowledge. He does not skip a beat when it comes to learning. Maddox was selected to be a student leader for the fourth grade. This new role magnifies his leadership abilities that he already brings to the classroom. Maddox continues to show exceptional model student characteristics!
Please join us in welcoming Alexis Carreon to our Heritage Elementary family as our new 4th grade Special Education teacher! Alexis comes to us from El Paso and brings a strong background in Special Education along with a strong belief and enthusiasm for student success. Since joining us, she has hit the ground running by connecting with her 4th grade team, building relationships with students, and quickly learning how to best support all of their needs. Ms. Carreon is known for being flexible, kind, and eager to help. She has already shown that she is willing to take on any task that involves supporting students. We are truly grateful she made the move from El Paso to be a part of our campus, and we know this will be an exciting year with her on our team!

Superintendent Meets with Student Leaders

The Southside ISD superintendent, Rolando Ramirez, met with the Heritage Student Leaders yesterday. He encouraged them to inspire their peers to do well on upcoming assessments because they will be rewarded. They also discussed other items about our school and he answered questions they had. It is nice to see a “Top Boss” taking the time to talk with his students, thank you!
