I am very excited to join Viola Wilson Elementary! We have family in the area and have vacationed her for years! It took us a little while to get to Boerne, but we finally made it! I am married, have two grown daughters, a son-in-law, two dogs, and a horse named Jerry. I love to play games with my family and friends, enjoy activities outdoors, and love to ride my horse.
After teaching for 6 years, I was a stay at home mom when my kids were very young. During that time we made our way to Texas for my husband’s job and have called it home ever since. When it was time to continue my teaching career, I was in Special Education working with students in grades K-2 for 10 years. During that time, I found I have a love for teaching Kindergarten. I transitioned into the Kindergarten classroom 5 years ago and feel blessed to continue my 6th year as a part of the Viola Wilson family!
Thank you for your patience as we navigate arrival/dismissal. In order to ensure student safety please refrain from:
1. Parking in handicap spots without a handicap tag.
2. Driving through the parking lot and letting students out of your vehicle in the parking lot. Having them cross in the parking lot without a pedestrian crossing is not safe. All students need to be dropped off in the front of the school where they are greeted by a staff member. The parking lot will have cones to prevent cars from coming through the lot.
3. Dropping students off in front of the recess area and having them walk alone. We want to ensure all students have adult supervision as they enter the building.
We are grateful to have Officer Rhee as our SRO. We thank you for showing him and all other staff on duty courtesy and kindness.
Every family will be assigned a dismissal number for the entire school year. Your number will be given to you at Meet the Teacher. You will need your driver's license to pick up your child's number.
You will need to display your car tag number so that it is visible on your windshield when you go through the carline. We are anticipating many car riders and dismissal may be slow initially. Please rest assured safety is the number one priority and we want to ensure every child is loaded in the correct car everyday.
We will have VWES staff on duty from the campus and from the Transportation department to ensure a smooth arrival and dismissal for families when they load/unload from the bus during the first week of school.
The Transportation department assigns all bus routes. Any specific questions you have about transportation, please feel call the department at 830-357-2970.
The only students that will be allowed to walk or ride their bike are students who live in Corley Farms or if preapproved by an administrator. Your child will be considered a walker if they walk from the front door of the school to the front door of your house.
Walkers does not include students walking to cars parked in Corley Farms or on Homestead Ridge.
If your child is in PK-2 you will need to meet the VWES staff at the entrance of the Corley Farms subdvision.
As we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of all our students, we kindly ask for your support in reminding your child about the importance of staying safe and behaving respectfully on the school bus.
Riding the bus allows students to begin and end their school day on a positive note for our riders. To ensure a safe and pleasant experience for everyone, please remind your child to follow the bus driver's instructions, remain seated during the ride, and treat their fellow students with kindness and respect.
We appreciate your partnership!
