Hello Comstock!

I am looking forward to my 23rd year in the teaching profession. My experiences include teaching Pre-Kindergarten, 2nd grade, 5th grade, and Special Education/Resource for grades K-5th. I am thrilled to teach Resource at Comstock this school year! I love the excitement that the students bring every school year. I hope that each student in my classroom will develop positive self-esteem and a love for learning. It is an honor to do such an important job each day.

My husband, Dennis, and I have been married for 23 years. We stay busy with our three sons and our dog, Charlie. I love spending my free time with my family.

I am looking forward to an amazing year full of new learning and growth!

Hello Comstock Family- 

 I have a huge heart for Comstock Elementary.  I have been part of the Frisco ISD school family for the last 11 years as a parent and this is my 8th year as an employee.  Comstock is such a fabulous school, and I am over the moon to be part of the teaching staff.   

Prior to accepting my current position as a Resources Teacher, I taught Health and Wellness at Comstock which provided me the opportunity to have every student in the school attend my classroom once a week.  I felt this was such a blessing as I was awarded the time and opportunity to connect with every student at the school.  I probably have a close connection with many of you.  But if you are new to Comstock and I haven’t met you yet, I look forward to meeting and getting to know you.   

Prior to working at Comstock, I was a Director of a local preschool here in McKinney.   

I spent my younger adult years in sunny California where I developed my love for the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle.  During my time in California, I worked at Children’s Hospital and received my degree from San Diego State University.  GO AZTECS!  

I currently live in McKinney with my twins, Jake and McKenzie. When I am not at school, I am supporting my children in their activities.  I also enjoy working out, gardening, DIY home projects, crafting and spending quality time with my family.   

It is a true privilege to teach your children this year.  

 This is going to me an amazing school year!!!   

 Hugs, 

Danielle Thomas

Hello! 

My name is Grace Ray and I'm excited to start my 2nd year at Comstock. I graduated from Texas State University, with a degree in All-level Special Education. Teaching and supporting students with unique needs has always been my passion, and I can’t wait to bring my knowledge and enthusiasm into the classroom. I grew up in Frisco, TX, and attended FISD schools from K-12, so it feels incredible to be back in my hometown, contributing to the district that shaped me.

I can't wait to work with your amazing children this school year!
