Week of December 12/5
Welcome Mrs. Garcia, PK Aide!
My name is Kerry Garcia and this will be my first year with the district. I ran division one track at the University of Central Arkansas for four seasons and ultimately graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2010. I have been employed with the Department of Family and Protective Services as a caseworker and supervisor for the last eleven years. I have two beautiful little girls ages five and eight. We also have two dogs- an eighty pound chocolate lab and a fifteen pound terrier. I am very excited to be a part of CFBISD and the staff of Carrollton Elementary!
Welcome Mrs. Santos, DC Teacher!
Hello! My name is Mariah Santos and I am so honored to accept the development center teacher position. I recently moved from Austin, TX where I was born and raised and began my career as an early childhood special education teacher. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two children, and running long distances.
Welcome Mrs. Hutcheson, WIN Time Teacher!
Hi! My name is Cheyenne Hutcheson and I can’t wait to join the Carrollton Elementary staff. I graduated from Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science and have taught first grade for two years. I am married to my college sweetheart, Dylan, and we have a sweet fur-baby, Gus. We recently moved to the area from Wichita Falls and we can not wait to plant some roots here!

Deck the Door Contest
Deck the Door Contest
for December!
for December!
(If you are new here...be aware...our staff takes this seriously!)
Rules:
1) Be creative and have fun!
2) Doors must be decorated by Wednesday, December 7th
3) This year your team will need to work together to come up with a combined theme. You will need to work with your team and decide to decorate the doors all within one theme (example: holiday movies, holiday book, scene of a holiday village, etc.). Who knows...maybe you will team up with another grade and do your entire hallway. Get creative!
If your team wins, you will win lunch on me from Jason's Deli! If you are not located near your team, choose some doors near you to collaborate with.
I will allow staples on the wall, just be mindful and don't hammer the wall if you decide to decorate the hallway or walls around the door.
No tape!
Good Luck!
*This is optional*
Starting after Christmas break, ARD meetings will be on Fridays. We are moving from Wednesday - Friday because the CM/Speech team has their planning day on Friday. This will allow them not to miss groups on Wednesday.
