SGE Culture Survey
Leader in Me MRA
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we invite you to participate in the Leader in Me MRA (Measurable Results Assessment) survey. This short, anonymous survey helps us gather valuable feedback about our school’s culture, leadership, and academic environment in order to make improvements for next year. Each school conducts its own survey, so if you have children at multiple campuses, there will be separate surveys to complete.
Your voice matters, and your input will help guide our efforts to create the best possible experience for our students. Please see the link provided in the email to complete the survey.
Pre-K and Kindergarten Registration Round Up
Do you have an incoming Pre-k or Kindergarten aged student? Please join us for the Pre-K & Kindergarten round up!

Welcome Interims Dr. Brady and Mrs. Hejl
Dr. Brady
Hello Shady Grove Community! It is an honor to serve as one of your substitute principals as we wrap up the 2025 school year.
I have been a lifelong educator and learner. After graduating from Baylor University, I entered my first instructional position as a first grade teacher. Over my thirty-five year career I have worked in Jefferson ISD, Aldine ISD, Bastrop ISD and Leander ISD along with a five year adventure at a private school in Guatemala. I earned my Masters' degree in Administration from Sam Houston State University and my Doctorate from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor. I retired in 2019 and worked at my church as the Children's Pastor for a few years. I've enjoyed it all, but I have to admit that Elementary Schools are my happy place!
I have a set of grown twins, one daughter-in-law and three grandchildren. Also, my home wouldn't be complete without my little pup, Gabby. Hanging out with family, cooking, yoga and traveling are my favorite things to do for fun.
Please know that I am happy to be here supporting students and teachers. I value the trust you have placed in your local campus and will work diligently to uphold that meaningful relationship.
Mrs. Hejl
Hello Shady Grove Elementary Families!
It is a pleasure to join Burnet CISD as one of your substitute principals at Shady Grove.
I have been a teacher, assistant principal, principal and mentor principal for over 33 years. I graduated from Southwest Texas State University (now known as Texas State) and began my teaching career in Manor ISD. I also earned my Masters' degree from Southwest Texas State University in Counseling and Administration. The majority of my career has been in Leander ISD where I developed a passion for and expertise in continuous improvement and systems learning. Upon retiring in 2015, I continued to work in Leander and other nearby districts supporting new administrators and campuses needing an interim principal.
My husband and I moved from Cedar Park to the Liberty Hill/Burnet area along the San Gabriel River when we retired. I have two grown sons and two sweet granddaughters. In my spare time I enjoy time with the grandkids, special friends and traveling. .
Please reach out to me if I can be of support to you in the coming months. Being a part of the Shady Grove Elementary community is an honor. You have great kids and amazing teachers. I look forward to working with you all as we complete this school year together.
Average Daily Attendance for SGE
Last Week's ADA for SGE: 95.94%
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. Check out SGE's ADA trends in the chart above.
"98 IS Great!" We'll celebrate as a campus when we hit a week with 98% attendance!
We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work for 98%!
Check out our Facebook for pictures of field trips this week in 1st & Kinder!
For the 6th six weeks, we're focusing on habit #6!
